You see,
It has to do with death,
All this fighting--
With death
And the taking of breath,
And the taking of milk from babies,
And books from eager hands,
And dignity from man.

Versione italiana di Riccardo Venturi
31 agosto 2006
LA GUERRA

Vedi,
ha a che fare con la morte,
tutto questo combattere
con la morte
con il togliere il respiro
con il togliere il latte ai bambini
e i libri a mani che li bramano,
e la dignità all’uomo.

SOTA

Näethän,
että kuolemasta siinä on kysymys,
kaikessa tässä sotimisessa,
kuolemasta on kysymys,
ja hengen riistämisestä
ja maidon viemisestä lapsilta
ja kirjojen viemisestä halukkaista käsistä
ja arvon viemisestä ihmiseltä.
