\"My<\/a><\/font><\/p>\n

My name is Magra
I am a river
This is my journey
In the beginning I am small
a mountain spring
from the Appennino
I follow a fold
in the southern slopes
I become a waterfall
I flow into a bowl of rock
a cleft carries me south
a gorge narrows me<\/font><\/p>\n

Il mio nome \u00e8 Magra
Sono un fiume
Questo \u00e8 il mio viaggio
All\u2019inizio sono piccolo
una sorgente di montagna
che nasce dall\u2019Appennino
Seguo una piega
sul versante meridionale
Divento una cascata
casco in un catino di roccia
un crepaccio mi porta gi\u00f9 verso sud
una gola mi restringe<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

\"My<\/a><\/p>\n

I pass beneath a village of stone houses
and below a second village
where an arc of stone
a bridge five centuries old
strides over me
To the people of the village
the bridge is ancient
to me, it is but a child<\/font><\/p>\n

Passo sotto un borgo di case in sasso
e sotto un secondo borgo
dove un arco di pietra
un ponte vecchio di cinque secoli
mi scavalca
Per la gente del paese
il ponte \u00e8 antico
per me, non \u00e8 altro che un bambino<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

\"My<\/a><\/p>\n

More villages, now a town
I\u2019m joined by my friend Verde
we meet below the town
we create a small peninsula
In ancient times
the people of the town
felt safe between our arms
with their fortress up above
But when we rage
and thunder after the rains
they curse us<\/font><\/p>\n

Altri paesi, ora una citt\u00e0
il mio amico Verde si unisce a me
c\u2019incontriamo sotto alla citt\u00e0
insieme creiamo una piccola penisola
Nei tempi antichi
la gente della citt\u00e0
si sentiva sicura fra le nostre braccia
con la fortezza su in alto
Ma quando infuriamo
e tuoniamo dopo le piogge
ci maledicono<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

\"May<\/a><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Beneath the medieval arches
of the town\u2019s bridges
lazy trout play in my current
a kingfisher flashes, iridescent<\/font><\/p>\n

Sotto gli archi medievali
dei ponti cittadini
pigre trote giocano nella mia corrente
un martin pescatore sfreccia, iridescente<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

\"My<\/a><\/p>\n

This valley is mine, Val di Magra
I am joined by more friends
they take my name
they become me
I broaden and slow
herons and cormorants stalk my waters<\/font><\/p>\n

Questa \u00e8 la mia valle, Val di Magra
altri amici si uniscono a me
prendono il mio nome
diventano me
Mi estendo e rallento
Aironi e cormorani pedinano le mie acque<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

\"Feb<\/a><\/p>\n

More towns
more bridges
a motorway
and finally
the Sea
Here, I cease to be
I merge
and become
one<\/font><\/p>\n

This was my journey.<\/font><\/p>\n

Altre citt\u00e0
altri ponti
un\u2019autostrada
e finalmente
il Mare
Qui, io cesso di essere
Mi fondo
e divento
uno<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Questo era il mio viaggio.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
