Pier Paolo Pasolini. Cristo al Mandrione. Testo di canzone. JESUS CHRIST IN MANDRIONE. Traduzione in inglese.

JESUS CHRIST IN MANDRIONE

And I still find myself here,
in the mud, naked and soaked to the bone,
around me only these four dirty walls,
a table and a bidet.

If you can hear me, help me, Jesus!
Look at me, dirty with my tears,
have mercy on me, who am nothing,
O you, the King of Kings!
I work tirelessly,
I die, but my soul is not at peace.

Jesus, if you hear me,
help me !

 

(Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1960)
