ON THE VERGE OF SORROW    -    Versione italiana

I will not follow your path of death...
Never will come down my steps
along the muddy bed
the turbid waters of the Avernus.
Hard is the work of living,
but I will not follow
your path of death.
A divine light
illuminates the way
of the wayfarer.
I will follow it
as usual
ready to chance,
but I will not follow
your path of death.
Someone or some
atrocious sickness
should break
the slender thread
that holds hanging
my destiny,
but never be
my hands, Cesare
to stop
that atrocious life
that hour's drip,
those long sleepless nights
full of sorrow.
I will not follow
your path of death...
I know too well
and since a long time now
what it means living
on the verge of sorrow.
