son giorni lesti, questi.
van via veloci, tra mille cose
da fare, da dire, da vivere.
ero la mamma di un anatroccolo.
son diventata la mamma di una
medusa.
e' arrivata santa lucia.
all'ometto ha portato i giochi,
a me un giorno di ferie.
e davvero non so dire chi di noi
si sia divertito di piu'.
quando lui non c'e' mi trasformo
in aiutante di babbonatale.
imbraccio i ferri e via.
stasera pero' no, che sono
stanca.
ed ho bisogno di un bagno caldo
e di coperte avvolgenti.
ho bisogno di fermarmi e di
spegnere i pensieri.
anche quelli positivi.
e c'e' aria di festa.
e anche di frizzanti novita'.
e' che mi sembra di vivere tre
vite, da tante cose riesco ad infilare dentro a una giornata.
e son tre vite bellissime,
peraltro.
these days are nimble.
they go away quickly, amongst a thousand things to do, to say, to live.
I was the mother of a baby duck.
I turned into the mother of a jellyfish.
saint Lucia has arrived. (she brings toys and candies to children here).
she brought toys to my little boy and a day-off to me.
and I really can't say who of us has much fun.
when he's not around I become a Santa Claus helper.
I take my needles and knit knit knit.
but not tonight, 'cause I'm tired.
and I need a hot bath and soft blankets.
I need to stop and turn off my thoughts.
even the positive ones.
there's celebration in the air.
and even some sparkling novelties.
and I seem to live three lives, since there are so many things I can put inside a single day.
three beautiful lives indeed.
