And here another Poem in Ladin language by Roland Verra, read the translation below.
Adrovi n toch de ciel,
mé n pitl fregul de lumm...
Perchël sons inò tlo
ti cialan nmaruià
a chësta ega chieta,
na flistra de ciel
tumeda sun la tiera...
Ne ei plu paroles
per te cunté mi legrëzia,
mi uedli ie arnaghei
tl culëur,
n pitl toch de ciel
arsì te mi cuer...
*****
I need a piece of sky,
just a little bit of light...
That's why I'm here again
looking astounded
to this still water,
a chunk of heaven
sunk into earth...
I have no words
to tell you my happiness,
my eyes are drowned
in colour,
in deep blue colour,
a tiny scrap of sky,
sunk into my heart...
Ein schöner Brunnen - das Paar mit Kind ist ja entzückend.

ReplyDeleteThe fountain is beautiful, and I always like to learn something more of this (for us) mysterious and fascinating Ladin language.

ReplyDeleteWhat a charming fountain. And a great way to present history.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fine looking, formally dressed family, but they seem a bit stiff.
ReplyDeleteA lovely poem, and the statues have such a life like look to them.
