Sensation – Arthur Rimbaud – March 1870 – with translations from French into English and Italian by Enzo Martinelli
🇫🇷
Sensation Par les soirs bleus d’été, j’irai dans les sentiers, Picoté par les blés, fouler l’herbe menue: Rêveur, j’en sentirai la fraicheur à mes pieds. Je laisserai le vent baigner ma tête nue. Je ne parlerai pas, je ne penserai rien: Mais l’amour infini me montera dans l’âme, Et j’irai loin, bien loin, comme un bohémien, Par la Nature, – heureux comme avec une femme.

Sensation On blue summer evenings, I will go on paths, tickled by ears of wheat, trampling on small grass: Dreamer, I will feel the freshness at my feet. I will let the wind wet my bare head. I won’t speak, I won’t think of anything: but an infinite love will rise from my soul, and I will go far, far away, like a gypsy around Nature – happy as with a woman.

Sensazione
Nelle sere blu estive, andrò per sentieri,
Pizzicato da spighe di grano, calpestando l’erbetta:
Sognatore, ne sentirò la frescura sui miei piedi.
Lascerò che il vento mi bagni la testa nuda.
Non parlerò, non penserò a nulla:
ma l’amore infinito mi salirà dall’anima,
e andrò lontano, molto lontano, come uno zingaro
per la Natura – felice come con una donna.
