STELLA DELL’ALBA

O fiore del tempo
Paul Celan

La stella dell’alba

che è stata oscurata da torbide fonti

si riflette per un attimo nel rosso mattutino

poi scompare
con i sogni dissipati dalla notte

acceso dalla luce
si apre il giorno

effimero fiore
del tempo.

MORGENSTAR

O Blume der Zeit
Paul Celan

The morning star
befuddled by dark sources
reflects for a moment in the morning’s red

then disappears
with the faded dreams of the night

kindled by the light
awakens the day

ephemeral flower
of time.
