Free Man
Free man,
you will always love the sea!
The sea is your mirror:
contemplate your soul
in the infinite unrolling
of your wave,
and your spirit
it is an abyss no less bitter.
You delight in diving
in the bosom of your image;
you hug her with your eyes
and with your arms,
and your heart gets distracted
sometimes from one's own heartbeat
at the sound of that lament
indomitable and wild.
You both are
dark and discreet:
man,
no one probed
the bottom of your depths;
sea,
nobody knows
your intimate riches:
so jealously cherished
your secrets!
And yet for countless centuries
you wage war without mercy or remorse,
so love slaughter and death,
o eternal fighters,
o inseparable brothers!
