Louisa Calio
(translated by Nino Provenazno)


Holy Water / Acqua Biniditta

Hot seas
      the sweat that pours from me
                    when we make love.
                   Salty the tears I weep
           when you leave.
 Holy the waters that pour,
            from every pore
    I am made pure.

        

            Mari 'nfucati
li sudura chi sculanu di lu me' corpu
            quannu facemu l'amuri.
           Salati li lacrimi chi chianciu
        quannu mi lassi.
                      Biniditti d'acqui
        chi sculanu di lu me' corpu
     mi fannu pura.
