I have hundreds of friends
for all my delight;
I say it without malice,
with true happiness.
I'm friendo of the wind
that rules in the heights,
friend of the depths
with turns and whirlwinds,
friend of the fine air
with all its vivacity.
I'm friend of the fire
of the most brilliant star,
because in the arrogant sky
it walks like its owner.
I'm friend of the nightingale,
bolt of the moon,
with all its wittingness
it illuminates the most fierce sea,
and I'm friend of the dense
night darknessess.
Friend of the loner
glow of the morning
and of the early breeze
that shines like a rosary,
friend of the gardener
of the arch of bonds.
I'm friend of trust
of white and black clouds,
also of red clouds
in all circumstances.
I'm friend of the rain
because it's a singing harp
of wires and guitar strings
that play with fury
I'm friend of the century
of the valuable spaces
and of the sounding echoes
that hailstorms keep,
friendo of the torrents
that sing its beautiful chorus.
Friendo of the fog
that circle the horizons
mountains and ranges
with its fine prescence;
the snow, by cloudy,
populations and lonelinessess,
prosperities and tempests
are my sincere friends;
but my chant, the first
of all my friendships.
