So, to your attention, dear readers, "Italian cycle of poems" by poetess Natalie Ponomaryova (NAT) 2021:
1.
I can't forget your smile
I can't forget your features
Hills in Italy and a violin
Vivaldi from night to dawn...
And the salt of all my tears, Versace,
Today you, for you, are more important
Three thousand twenty hugs
A child with his mother...
And Dante Alighieri is like
Living handsome man and poet
With a modest look, languid together,
Will offer me to create a duet.
Oh Mona Lisa! Oh Da Vinci!
Oh Rafael! Can't describe
That grandeur of laws
Drawing, painting. To give
The world you could only the sun
And the miracle of its graphics ...
I will open the window at night
I'll let in a flock of doves...
2.
Three kisses apart
Russia beckons,
But there is no such service in the world
Say goodbye and force!
I count the time until morning
Three cards, money, two barrels,
Called your name
On distant, slippery shores
Here day and night they call with them
Walk along the new pavement.
But this is not Italy
Russia is a mystery!
3.
Miralibis blooms beautifully,
lavender, kalanchoe,
Celosia and hosta, iris,
Verbena and Aloe...
Italy, how beautiful you are!
Your shores are beautiful!
Fall in love with you, but it's dangerous!
The French will say: "Yes, yes, yes!"
5.
April rained down
On rooftops at night
The gondolas floated...
In Russia, cherry plum
Sad and crying
Like a musical cry...
All nature woke up
At someone's long dachas ...
And the houses of Italy
Everything also cuts the eye!
Danish architecture
Found in them 20 times!
6.
3000 times, 3000 times
I said "I love"!
Everything is for you!
3000 roses, 3000 roses
You gave me!
Everything is serious, everything is serious!
7.
You call me in the middle of the night
Walk in your Italy!
What does Italy want to tell me?
I forget my Russia!
I love her and hate her
But I say to myself: "I love you."
Loving Russia is "not prestigious"
But I pray for the motherland!
And the Pope will silently say:
"Oh, woman! The Lord is with you!
I forgive you sins
In my native Italy!"
8.
Please don't treat me!
My longing lives in me for a long time!
I treat myself to Italian chocolate
His name is "Ferrero Rocher"...
How would it be in Russian?
"Spente Le Stelle" sing...
Rome and Milan in the picture...
Colorful photo album...
This is a mountain, this is a sea
And this is a game of football.
The children shouted joyfully:
The boy scored the first goal...
9.
Salt Mediterranean sea
Italy-boot
Beckons with sunset brilliance,
And sunny sand
Melted under the waves
At my feet in the shade...
Hermes i sandals
I'm looking for lights
Burn and go out again
At the pizzeria house...
Italy! You are like
Free until dawn!
10.
Emma Chapplin
Your voice of heaven
Throws shivers and knees
Pearl by the water
You appear, only shadows
Hiding your face in heaven...
Goddess of female vocals
And your songs, as if for brides,
It used to make the halls happy!
Oh Emma! Just live and be
I wish you forever!
Your voice cannot hide
You in Italy and the Greeks
They invite you to the theater!
11.
Tell me why you're not jealous?
Tell me why should I be brave?
You triumph in the middle of the night...
Applause... Colosseum...
I'm looking for a sense of faith in you
Love and fidelity, but you
Just a bunch of someone's superstitions
Are you afraid of the dark...
Let the sun tell me what you love -
I will not believe again and again!
You will only destroy my soul!
Oh Italian love!
