Stride la vampa
Picture: Caravaggio Portrait of a courtesan (Fillide Melandroni) ca. 1597
Stride la vampa! -
la folla indomita
corre a quel fuoco -
lieta in sembianza;
urli di gioia -
intorno echeggiano:
cinta di sgherri -
donna s' avanza!
Sinistra splende -
sui volti orribili
la tetra fiamma -
che s'alza al ciel!
Stride la vampa!
giunge la vittima
nerovestita, -
discinta e scalza!
Grido feroce -
di mortr levasi;
l' eco il ripete -
di balza in balza!
Sinistra splende -
sui volti orribili
la tetra fiamma -
che s'alza al ciel!
The crackling flame fizzles!
the unyielding crowd
runs to that fire --
happy in countenance;
Merry shouts
echo all around;
escorted by guards
a woman makes forth!
Sombre shines
on that terrible faces
the gloomy flame
that reaches up to the sky!
The crackling flame fizzles!
The victim arrives,
clad in black,
half-dressed, barefoot!
A ferocious cry
of death rises.
the echo repeats
it all along the cliffs!
Sombre shines
on that terrible faces
the gloomy flame
that reaches up to the sky!
