Quando



Kdaj bom naspana
kot hribi
Kdaj mi bo
zarja s sramežljivo
meglico umila trepalnice
Kdaj bo dovolj rose
za vse moje
travne odtise

Quando mai sarò riposata
come i monti
Quando l'aurora laverà
le mie ciglia
con una timida nebbiolina
Quando ci sarà tanta rugiada
per tutte le mie
impronte erbacee
