Vittorio Pasquale: Prisoner's Song (From Sinti)

Prisoner's Song
By Vittorio Mayer Pasquale
Translated by A.Z. Foreman

A bird is at my window 
in song. 
The heart in me is weeping
along.
I spot a flower downed
in dirt
With two tears keeping it
alive.
Dear flower me and you  
are alike... 
Taken from the green field,
I'm dying.

The Original:

Ap mar f�nstri
jek t�kno c�rklo
giv�la.
Mur Herz an m�nde
rov�la.
Hacj�m jek bl�ma
ab i cik...
Duj su� di�nla
i d�ib�n.
Me hom har du
o bl�ma...
Vri fon i v�za
mer�va !
