Così siamo
Dicevano, a Padova, “anch’io”
gli amici “l’ho conosciuto”. E c’era il romorio d’un acqua sporca
Prossima, e d’una sporca fabbrica:
stupende nel silenzio.
Perché era notte. “Anch’io
l’ho conosciuto.”
Vitalmente ho pensato
a te che ora
non sei né soggetto né oggetto
né lingua usuale né gergo
né quiete né movimento
neppure il né che negava
e che per quanto s’affondino
gli occhi miei dentro la sua cruna
mai ti nega abbastanza.
E così sia: ma io
credo con altrettanta
forza in tutto il mio nulla,
perciò non ti ho perduto
o, più ti perdo e più ti perdi,
più mi sei simile, più m’avvicini.
Andrea Zanzotto

(You Can’t Always Get What You Want
I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man
You cant always get what you want
You cant always get what you want
You cant always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you might find
You get what you need
And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, were gonna vent our frustration
If we dont were gonna blow a 50-amp fuse
You cant always get what you want
You cant always get what you want
You cant always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need
I went down to the chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with mr. jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to mr. jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was dead
I said to him
You cant always get what you want
You cant always get what you want
You cant always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need
You get what you need--yeah, oh baby
I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands
You cant always get what you want
You cant always get what you want
You cant always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
You cant always get what you want
You cant always get what you want
You cant always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need )
