Achille Lauro
«Mi alzai dal banco degli imputati
L’avvocato mi tirava per la manica per farmi capire che non dovevo parlare
Aveva l’aria impaurita
L’aria di chi non sa come gestire una situazione
Come se al posto mio ci fosse lui
Ero stato 48 ore chiuso in una cella a pensare a cosa dire
Mi avevano fatto dormire con le luci accese
L’aria gelida e una coperta che puzzava di piscio
Mentre mi ripetevano: „Questa volta sono cazzi tuoi
Questa notte finite tutti in galera“
Avevo avuto giusto il tempo per cercare di non sembrare una cattiva persona,
abbassandomi i capelli, togliendomi quei bracciali dal polso e le collane dal
collo, come fossero catene che mi imprigionavano in un’altra persona
Pensavo a mia madre, a quanto aveva fatto per evitarlo
Ero davanti al bivio, Dante lo descrive come un’immensa voragine che si
spalanca nelle viscere della terra
Questa cavità sotterranea si è aperta quando Lucifero, cacciato dal cielo dopo
la sua ribellione a Dio, fu scaraventato al centro della terra
Mi alzai in piedi e dissi: „Signor Giudice, ho sbagliato“
E mentre l’avvocato mi tirava per quella manica pensavo solo: „Io non voglio
finire cosi“
E qualcuno lassù
Lo sentì»
“I got up from the dock
The lawyer pulled me by the sleeve to make me understand that I should not speak
He looked scared
The air of someone who does not know how to manage a situation
As if he were in my place
I had been locked in a cell for 48 hours thinking about what to say
They made me sleep with the lights on
The cold air and a blanket that smelled of piss
While they repeated to me: „This time it's your business
This night you all go to jail "
I had just had the time to try not to look like a bad person,
pulling my hair down, removing those bracelets from my wrist and necklaces from
neck, as if they were chains that imprisoned me in another person
I thought of my mother, of what she had done to avoid it
I was in front of the crossroads, Dante describes it as an immense chasm that yes
opens wide into the bowels of the earth
This underground cavity opened when Lucifer, after being cast out of heaven
of him his rebellion of him to God, he was thrown to the center of the earth
I stood up and said: "Mr. Judge, I was wrong"
And while the lawyer pulled me by that sleeve, I just thought: "I don't want to
end up like this "
And someone up there
He felt it "
