The wind through my eyes

R. L. Stevenson
The Wind
Il vento
I could not see yourself
I saw you toss the kites
Io ti ho visto far girare gli aquiloni
On high
In alto
And blow the birds
E spingere gli uccelli
About the sky
In cielo
I felt you push, I heard
Io ti ho sentito spingere, Io ti ho sentito
Io non sono riuscita a vederti
At allAffatto
O blower, are you
O soffiatore, sei tu
young or old?
Giovane o vecchio?
Or just a stronger child than me?
O solo un ragazzo più forte di me?

The Wind
Il vento
Di Christina Rossetti
Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you;
But when the leaves hang trembling
The wind is passing through
Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you;
But when the trees bow down their
heads
The wind is passing by.
KITES
AQUILONI
Five little kites flying high in the sky
Said “Hi” to the cloud as it passed by,
Said “Hi!” to the birds, Said “Hi!” to the
sun,
Said “Hi!” to an airplane – oh what fun!
Then wish went the wind,
And they all took a dive:
One
Two
Three
Four
Five

KITES
AQUILONI
I’d fly up. Up. Up. I’d fly down,
down, down.
Io lo farei volare su, su, su. Io
farei volare giù, giù. giù,
Then I’ spin round and round and
round…
Poi lo farei girare, girare, girare…
BLOWIN’ IN THE WIND
SOFFIANDO NEL VENTO
Bob Dylan
Yes. ‘n’ how many seas must a white dove sail
E quanti mari deve superare una colomba bianca
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Prima che si addormenti sulla spiaggia?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind,
The answer is blowin’ in the wind
La risposta, amico mio sta soffiando nel vento
La risposta sta soffiando nel vento

BLOWIN’ IN THE WIND
SOFFIANDO NEL VENTO
Bob Dylan
How many years can a mountain exist
Quanti anni una montagna può esistere
Before it’s washed to the sea?
Prima che venga spazzata via dal mare?
BLOWIN’ IN THE WIND
SOFFIANDO NEL VENTO
Bob Dylan
How many times must a man look up
E quante volte un uomo deve guardare in alto
Before you can see the sky?
Prima che riesca a vedere il cielo?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind,
The answer is blowin’ in the wind
La risposta, amico mio sta soffiando nel vento
La risposta sta soffiando nel vento
