Original text with translation
Madredeus
Alle paludi di Venezia poi Francesco arrivò
E in compagnia di un altro frate
Le attraversò…
Fu tornando dall’Oriente
Che in quel luogo si fermò
Venne la sera e tempo fu di pregare
Stormi di uccelli neri
Sui rami stavano
Ad alta voce cantando…
Pareva che quel fragore
Fosse a lode
Del loro Creatore
Così Francesco in quelle paludi
Con gli uccelli volle pregare
Ed in mezzo a quella folla
Si incamminò…
Svaniva tra quelle grida
L’eco dei suoi passi
La voce della sua preghiera…
«Vi prego di volere tacere»
Ed il silenzio sulle paludi calò
E nessuno più cantò
Sinchè Francesco smise di pregare
E se ne andò…
Then Francesco arrived at the marshes of Venice
And in the company of another friar
He went through them ...
He was returning from the East
That in that place he stopped
Evening came and it was time to pray
Flocks of black birds
On the branches they stood
Out loud singing ...
It seemed that that din
It was to praise
Of their Creator
So Francesco in those swamps
With the birds he wanted to pray
And in the midst of that crowd
He walked away ...
He vanished amid those screams
The echo of his footsteps
The voice of his prayer ...
"Please be silent"
And the silence on the swamps fell
And no one sang anymore
Until Francis stopped praying
And he went away ...
