This is the Italian version of my original poem in English, "Italian American Rose." This is my my own, creative work which I had written in English. However, I have asked Carlo Zuccerini to translate my poem which is in English into Italian by a translator. A special thank you goes to Carlo Zuccerini for translating my poem. I hope all of my Italian readers enjoy this Italian version.


A volte basta una sola rosa per aiutarti ad apprezzare la giornata.


Una rosa nella neve è bella. Ha bisogno del tuo amore.

Le fiamme rosse ed arancioni ardono nei focolari,

l’entusiasmo fa brillare le stelle accanto alla luna d’avorio,

i dolci deliziosi e decadenti sul tavolo,

i cuori palpitanti che sentono le note di ciascuna canzone,

la speranza sempre viva di una notte perfetta,

le siluette ballano, ondeggiano, si muovono liberamente, senza che avanzino le sfere dell’orologio,

lo champagne spumeggiante nei bicchieri di cristallo, le fragole e i cubetti di zucchero,

stampe di scene romantiche appese al muro raffiguranti rose, sorrisi e neve cadente,

non mollando mai, non si aspettano la perfezione l’uno dall’altro,

prendendosi in giro, scherzando e ricordandosi dei bei tempi,

felicità, condivisione e racconti commoventi,

ogni sorriso e canzone saranno più splendenti di un milione di stelle,

fiocchi di neve che coprono di merletti il percorso fino alla porta di casa, ornando pini e finestre,

mai dimenticando di cercare la rosa rossa,

l’opulenza del cielo con le stelle che brillano illuminando la neve di bianco cotone,

senza dubbio, gli amanti cercheranno la più bella rosa rossa nella neve di febbraio.

La sola rosa rossa nella neve che simboleggia la bellezza della loro relazione, anche quando devono sopportare insieme il vento freddo e il gelo.

Ogni giorno bisogna trovare insieme la bellezza e i tesori nascosti, lasciandosi toccare il cuore da ciò che si vede e si sente.

Soffermati quando vedi una rosa nella neve, o altri esempi di semplice bellezza. Ricordati che le cose belle richiedono il tuo amore e la tua attenzione ogni giorno. Ti auguro di trovare una cosa bella in questo giorno speciale, mentre le fiamme ti riscaldano il cuore.

   

HA BISOGNO DEL TUO AMORE

Knowing French and some Spanish, I get bits and pieces of this, Joanna. It does sound lovely though. Thank you. Love and best wishes,

Dear Joanna,

As lovely as the Italian language is, I would love to read this in English. I can only grasp a bit of the Italian.

Thanks,
