Nibeywa, Anqar, Miteyrya.
Nomi di siti un tempo senza volto,
un marabut, un pozzo,
palme isolate
stanno a indicar spettrali cimiteri
d’armi e di mezzi.
Su quelle rocce e sabbia
v’è pure l’amarezza
di chi chiedeva armi,
ed ebbe la sua rabbia
soltanto, per difendersi ed offendere.

Nibeywa, Anqar, Miteyrya.
Names of sites once without a face,
a marabut, a well,
isolated palms
they are indicating ghostly cemeteries
weapons and military vehicles.
On those rocks and sand
there is also the bitterness
of whom asked for weapons,
and had his anger
only, to defend himself and offend.
