[Nga pas, qëndroj, pak larg]
Patrizia Cavalli
Nga pas, qëndroj, pak larg,
kalimthi, taksimetri punon,
e shoh, i shikoj flokët,
çfarë shoh? Teatri im kokëmushkë,
sipari nuk bie, teatri im gjithmonë i hapur…
Më mirë të ikësh sapo fillon shfaqja.

[From behind, standing, from a distance]
By Patrizia Cavalli
From behind, standing, from a distance,
in passing, the taxi meter running,
I’d watch her, I’d watch her hair,
and what would I see? My stubborn theatre,
curtain won’t fall, my always-open theatre . . .
Best to leave as soon as the show begins.
