Guillaume Apollinaire – In the lake of your eyes

Solomon J. Solomon, Echo and Narcissus, 1895

In the lake of your eyes – so deep –
my heart drowns and dissolves.
And in there unravel it in the water
– made of love and madness –
a little bit of memory, a little bit of melancholy.

Nel lago dei tuoi occhi assai profondo
il mio cuore si annega e si discioglie.
E là dentro lo disfano nell’acqua
di amore e di follia
un po’ ricordo, un po’ malinconia.
