Al tempo (translation below)

Hope you like it :)

Granelli di sabbia decadono 

scandendo alla maniera antica

il flusso incessante del tempo

che scorre, corre, vola.

In ogni secondo che passa vedo

le mura di Troia crollare,

la superba Cartagine bruciare,

la tua tirannide giungere alla fine.

Un minuto alla volta mi libera

eroicamente dalle tue grinfie

e ormai salvo, al nobile Tempo

canto la mia gratitudine in versi.

Al tempo, i miei ringraziamenti,

la mia sincera simpatia e le mie

lodi più generose poiché mai

si è fermato nei momenti peggiori.

TRANSLATION:

Title: To time

Grains of sand decay

stressing in the old way

the unstoppable flow of time

that flows, runs, flies.

In every second passing I see

Troy's wall falling

the superb Carthage decaying

your tyranny coming to an end.

One minute at a time free me

heroically from your power

and already safe, to noble Time

I sing my gratitude in verses.

To time, my thanks,

my honest sympathy and my

kindest praises because never

it stopped in the worst moments.

Author's Note

We usually complain about time going too fast, well,
if you've ever experienced a tough week like the one waiting for me from tomorrow on, then you definitely understand why I praise Time for acting this way :)
