    In a sweeping song.

    In the rhyme
    of a sweeping
    song a sincere
    desire returns
    to describe a
    luminous
    sadness.

    Una dulce poesía.

    En el candor
    de la fuente
    la nueva
    sensación que
    cándida regresa
    como el llanto
    de la noche.

    Francesco Sinibaldi

    Lumières.

    Le souffle
    d'une pensée,
    le son de la
    neige qui
    chante le matin,
    l'amour, la
    poésie, la tendre
    lumière d'une
    aube enchantée...

    En la silla.

    El sonido
    perpetuo de
    la noche
    encantada,
    una dulce
    poesía, el llanto,
    el ardor, la
    nueva emoción
    que candida
    viene....

    Francesco Sinibaldi

    La mémoire et un sourire.

    Doucement,
    et comme
    le chant d'une
    pensée, le
    tendre oiseau
    retrouve le
    sourire de
    l'aimable
    jeunesse.

    Danza y poesía.

    Como la rima
    de una hoja
    que brilla,
    como el sol
    que regresa
    en el llanto
    infinito de una
    noche encantada.

    Francesco Sinibaldi

    A gentle brightness.

    In the sound
    of a primrose
    a luminous
    feeling recalls
    the atmosphere
    of a sullen
    desire.

    Francesco Sinibaldi

    Comme l'hirondelle.

    Un son dans
    l'immensité,
    un souffle de
    poésie où la
    neige disparaît
    avec la douceur
    d'une rime
    fugitive.

    A smile in the morning.

    The solemn
    desire is a
    beautiful
    sadness that
    often returns
    when a fine
    thought appears.
