The old pond
A frog jumps in —
The sound of the water.

--

Nel vecchio stagno
una rana si tuffa -
Rumore d'acqua.

Over the wintry
forest, winds howl in rage
with no leaves to blow.

Mist before the peak -
the dream
Goes on

Over the mountain bright
the full white moon now smiles . . .
On the flower-thief

O luna del monte,
illumina la via
al ladro dei fiori.

The pond and the river
have become one,
In the spring rain,

Si mescolano
il lago e il fiume
nella pioggia di primavera.

Spring rain:
I am certain I saw
the spirits of stones.

Nella pioggia primaverile
di certo, è uscito
lo spiritello della pietra.

The wind of Mt. Fuji
I've brought on my fan!
a gift from Edo.

Il vento del fuji
nel mio ventaglio
porto in dono a Edo

Trombone jazz,
Tende che si muovono,
Pioggia di primavera.

No sky
no earth - but still
snowflakes fall

I am one
Who eats his breakfast,
Gazing at morning glories.

Covered with the flowers,
Instantly I'd like to die
In this dream of ours!

I kill an ant
and realize my three children
have been watching.

the mirror I stare into
shows my father's face.

The summer river:
although there is a bridge, my horse
goes through the water.

My Life in Haiku.. by Alberto Savoi
In:

Haiku 18 September 2009






















Grape between my teeth,

during a quiet windy night,

a sense of joy.

(Alberto Savoi)




Un'acino d'uva fra i denti

in una calma notte ventosa,

sensazione gioiosa

It's a cold morning -
.
in the street people wear jumpers
.
and they are walking fast.
.
(Alberto Savoi)




E' una fredda mattina -
.
la gente sulla strada indossa maglioni

e cammina veloce.

In a placid lake

whose surface is lighted by the sun -

circles in the water.

(Alberto Savoi)



In un lago sereno

la cui superficie è illuminata dal sole -

cerchi nell'acqua.

(Alberto Savoi)
