Sicilian poem

Musadora Peacock.....è una poetessa siciliana, di talento!
Ma lei questo ancora non lo sa!
Ama scrivere nel dialetto della sua terra e vengono fuori delle note, dei versi così sensuali come questa poesia che ho scelto di pubblicare.
In futuro raccoglierò le poesie di Musadora Peacock in una pagina del mio blog, dedicato interamente a lei.

Per i non siciliani, ho inserito un piccolo vocabolario, anche se , io credo che la poesia vada gustata così com'è.....leggendola ed apprezzandone la musicalità, la sensualità che viene fuori...
In fondo lo abbiamo nel DNA, noi Siciliani.....abbbiamo iniziato a scrivere poesie d'amore ancor prima di Dante, alla corte di federico II!!!
Buona lettura e ditemi cosa ne pensate!


I received these verses from Musadora Peacock...
she seems a well-talented poetess, but she still doesn't know!!
She likes writing in Sicilian
I think I'm going to dedicate her a page in my blog, collecting her lovliest lyrics.
Sicilian people have   poems in DNA.....we started writing love poems here before Dante, at the court of Frederick II.

I know , i Know it's impossible to understand the meaning of these verses?
Please, read it, just read it and appreciate the "music" of it!
anyway, at the end of the poem a little vocabulary into Italian and English.



Tu hai quarcosa di speciali
Iddu m’arrispunniu su jornu fatali...
 e fu comu si m’arrisbighiassi 
d’un sonnu seculari..!
Occhi nichi  e vispi
ch’osarono spugghiarisi
ravanti a mia,
ucca caura vistuta
d'un vilu di rugiada prifumata,
Ciatu, chi ‘sapi comu
tuccari e unni arrivari..
Lu suli in faccia a tia 
si putissi puri astutari,
bastaria ‘a to facci china d’amuri
cuannu talia a mia!

Busulmona: like Heaven!

Busulmona : XIXth  century farmhouse, once property of the  Cavaliere Sessa, today run by the family Di Pino. 5 km far from Noto it is immersed in a wonderful almond grove and carobs olives and all the colours of nature   make of this piece of Sicily a true paradise! It works as a B&B at the moment with only two bedroom, but it's also possible to have lunch tasting olive oil and almonds and wathever  what rigorously the family produce and cook for you!  Tranquillity, harmony, genuinity.. this are the things coming to my mind when I was there The name Busulmona , which is the name of all that area,comes from the Arabic and means the land of sun....  an extraordinary view  from the stone terrace on the Val di Noto, from Noto to Vendicari and Marzamemi... . for further information : www.busulmona.com
