Quella sera la casa di Ferruccio era più quieta del solito. that|evening|the|house|of|Ferruccio|it was|more|quiet|than the|usual That evening, Ferruccio's house was quieter than usual. Il padre, che teneva una piccola bottega di merciaiolo, era andato a Forlì a far delle compere, e sua moglie l'aveva accompagnato con Luigina, una bimba, per portarla da un medico, che doveva operarle un occhio malato; e non dovevano ritornare che la mattina dopo. the|father|who|he kept|a|small|shop|of|merchant|he was|gone|to|Forlì|to|to do|some|purchases|and|his|wife||accompanied|with|Luigina|a|girl|to|to take her|from|a|doctor|who|he had to|to operate on her|a|eye|sick|and|not|they had to|to return|that|the|morning|after His father, who ran a small mercer's shop, had gone to Forlì to do some shopping, and his wife had accompanied him with Luigina, a little girl, to take her to a doctor who was supposed to operate on her sick eye; and they were not expected to return until the next morning.

The woman who came to do some work during the day had left at dusk. In casa non rimaneva che la nonna, paralitica delle gambe, e Ferruccio, un ragazzo di tredici anni.

In the house, there was only the grandmother, paralyzed in her legs, and Ferruccio, a thirteen-year-old boy. Era una casetta col solo piano terreno, posta sullo stradone, a un tiro di fucile da un villaggio, poco lontano da Forlì, città di Romagna; e non aveva accanto che una casa disabitata, rovinata due mesi innanzi da un incendio, sulla quale si vedeva ancora l'insegna d'un'osteria. it was|a|small house|with the|only|ground|land|located|on the|main road|at|a|shot|from|rifle|by|a|||||||||||||||||||||||fire|on which|which|it|it could be seen|still|the sign| It was a small house with only one ground floor, located on the main road, a gunshot away from a village, not far from Forlì, a city in Romagna; and next to it was only an uninhabited house, ruined two months earlier by a fire, on which the sign of an inn was still visible. Dietro la casetta c'era un piccolo orto circondato da una siepe, sul quale dava una porticina rustica; la porta della bottega, che serviva anche da porta di casa, s'apriva sullo stradone. |||gab es||||||||||||||||||||||||||| behind|the|little house|there was|a|small|garden|surrounded|by|a|hedge|on the|which|led to||little door|rustic|the|door|of the|shop|which|served|also|as||||open|on the|main road Behind the little house, there was a small garden surrounded by a hedge, which had a rustic little door; the shop door, which also served as the house door, opened onto the main road.

Ferruccio e la nonna, ancora levati, stavano nella stanza da mangiare, tra la quale e l'orto c'era uno stanzino ingombro di mobili vecchi.

Ferruccio non era rientrato in casa che alle undici, dopo una scappata di molte ore, e la nonna l'aveva aspettato a occhi aperti, piena d'ansietà, inchiodata sopra un largo seggiolone a bracciuoli, sul quale soleva passar tutta la giornata, e spesso anche l'intera notte, poiché un'oppressione di respiro non la lasciava star coricata. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Sessel|||||||||||||||||||||||sitzend Ferruccio|not|he was|returned|into|home|only|at|eleven|after|a|run|of|many|hours|and|the|grandmother||waited|at|eyes|open|full||nailed|on|a|wide|armchair|with|armrests|on the|which|used to|to spend|all|she|||||||||||||let|to stay|lying down Ferruccio had not returned home until eleven, after being out for many hours, and his grandmother had waited for him with her eyes wide open, full of anxiety, pinned to a large armchair, where she usually spent the whole day, and often even the entire night, since a breathing oppression did not allow her to lie down. Pioveva e il vento sbatteva la pioggia contro le vetrate: la notte era oscurissima. it was raining|and|the|wind|was hitting|the|rain|against|the|windows|the|night|it was|very dark It was raining and the wind was slamming the rain against the windows: the night was pitch dark. Ferruccio era rientrato stanco, infangato, con la giacchetta lacera, e col livido d'una sassata sulla fronte; aveva fatto la sassaiola coi compagni, eran venuti alle mani, secondo il solito; e per giunta aveva giocato e perduto tutti i suoi soldi, e lasciato il berretto in un fosso. |||||||||||blauen Fleck||Steinwurf||||||Steinwurf||||||Händen||||||||||||||||||||| Ferruccio|he was|returned|tired|muddy|with|the|jacket|tattered|and|with the|bruise|of a|stone|on the|forehead|he had|done|||with the|companions|they were|come|to the|hands|according to|||for||addition|he had|played|lost||all|the|his|money|left|left||cap|in|a|ditch Ferruccio had come back tired, muddy, with a tattered jacket, and with a bruise from a stone on his forehead; he had been throwing stones with his friends, they had gotten into a fight, as usual; and on top of that, he had played and lost all his money, and left his cap in a ditch. Benché la cucina non fosse rischiarata che da una piccola lucerna a olio, posta sull'angolo d'un tavolo, accanto al seggiolone, pure la povera nonna aveva visto subito in che stato miserando si trovava il nipote, e in parte aveva indovinato, in parte gli aveva fatto confessare le sue scapestrerie. |||||||||||||||||||Hochstuhl|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||scapestrerie although|the|kitchen|not|it was|illuminated|only|by|a|small|lamp|to|oil|placed|on the corner|of a|table|next to|the|high chair|also|the|poor|grandmother|she had|seen|immediately|in|what|state|pitiful|himself|he found|the|grandson|and|part|part|she had|guessed|part|part|to him|she had|made|to confess|his||recklessness Although the kitchen was lit only by a small oil lamp placed on the corner of a table next to the armchair, the poor grandmother had immediately seen in what a miserable state her grandson was, and partly guessed, partly made him confess his reckless behavior. Essa amava con tutta l'anima quel ragazzo. she|she loved|with|all|the soul|that|boy She loved that boy with all her soul. Quando seppe ogni cosa, si mise a piangere. when|he knew|every|thing|he|he put|to|to cry When she learned everything, she started to cry. - Ah!

Si comincia a scappar di casa, a attaccar lite cogli altri ragazzi, a perdere i soldi; poi, a poco a poco, dalle sassate si passa alle coltellate, dal gioco agli altri vizi, e dai vizi... al furto. ||||||||Streit|||Jungen|||||||||||||||||||||||||Diebstahl one|starts|to|to run away|from|home|to|to start|arguments|with|other|boys|to|to lose|the|money|then|to|little|to|slowly|from the|stones|one|to pass|to the|stabbings|from the|game|to the|others|habits|and|from the|habits|to|theft It starts with running away from home, getting into fights with other kids, losing money; then, little by little, from throwing stones it escalates to stabbing, from gambling to other vices, and from vices... to theft. Ferruccio stava a ascoltare, ritto a tre passi di distanza, appoggiato a una dispensa, col mento sul petto, con le sopracciglia aggrottate, ancora tutto caldo dell'ira della rissa. |||||||||||||Schrank|||||||||||||| Ferruccio|he was|at|to listen|standing|at|three|steps|of|distance|leaning|to|a|pantry|with|chin|on|chest|with|the|eyebrows|furrowed|still|all|hot|of the anger|of the|fight Ferruccio was listening, standing three steps away, leaning against a pantry, with his chin on his chest, his eyebrows furrowed, still all heated from the anger of the fight.

Pensa a quel malanno qui del paese, a quel Vito Mozzoni, che ora è in città a fare il vagabondo; che a ventiquattr'anni è stato due volte in prigione, e ha fatto morir di crepacuore quella povera donna di sua madre, che io conoscevo, e suo padre è fuggito in Svizzera per disperazione. |||Übel|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Herzschmerz|||||||||||||||||| think|to|that|illness|here|of the|country|to|that|Vito|Mozzoni|who|now|he is|in|city|to|to do|the|vagabond|who|at|twenty-four years|he has been|has been|two|times|in|prison|and|he has|done|to die|of|heartbreak|that|poor|woman|of|his|mother|who|I|I knew|and|his|father|he is|escaped|in|Switzerland|for|despair Think about that troublemaker from this town, that Vito Mozzoni, who is now in the city wandering around; who at twenty-four has been in prison twice, and made that poor woman, his mother, die of a broken heart, whom I knew, and his father fled to Switzerland out of despair.

Imagine that you will reduce your father and mother to meet the same fate as his. Ferruccio taceva. Ferruccio|he was silent Ferruccio was silent. Egli non era mica tristo di cuore, tutt'altro; la sua scapestrataggine derivava piuttosto da sovrabbondanza di vita e d'audacia che da mal animo; e suo padre l'aveva avvezzato male appunto per questo, che ritenendolo capace, in fondo, dei sentimenti più belli, ed anche, messo a una prova, d'un'azione forte e generosa gli lasciava la briglia sul collo e aspettava che mettesse giudizio da sé. ||||||||||Unbesonnenheit||||Überfluss|||||||||||||gewöhnt||||||ritendendolo|fähig||||||||||||||||||||Brustgeschirr||||||||| he|not|he was|at all|sad|of|heart|quite the opposite|the|his|recklessness|it derived|rather|from|abundance|of|life|and|of boldness|than|by|bad|spirit|and|his|father|he had|trained|badly|precisely|for|this|who|considering him|capable|at|bottom|of the|feelings|more|beautiful|and|also|put|to|a|test||strong|and|generous|he|he left|the|rein|on the|neck||he waited|that|he would put|judgment|by|himself He was not at all sad at heart; quite the opposite; his recklessness stemmed more from an abundance of life and boldness than from a bad spirit; and his father had spoiled him precisely for this reason, believing him capable, deep down, of the most beautiful feelings, and also, when put to the test, of a strong and generous action, he left the reins loose and waited for him to come to his senses. Buono era, piuttosto che tristo; ma caparbio, e difficile molto, anche quando aveva il cuore stretto dal pentimento, a lasciarsi sfuggire dalla bocca quelle buone parole che ci fanno perdonare: - Sì, ho torto, non lo farò più, te lo prometto, perdonami. ||||||starrköpfig|||||||||||Reue||||||||||||||||||||||| good|he was|rather|than|sad|but|stubborn|and|difficult|very|even|when|he had|the|heart|tight|by|regret|to|to let oneself|to escape|from the|mouth|those|good|words|that|us|they make|to forgive|Yes|I have|wrong|not|it|I will do|more|you|it|I promise|forgive me He was good rather than sad; but stubborn, and very difficult, even when his heart was tight with remorse, to let those good words escape his mouth that make us forgive: - Yes, I was wrong, I won't do it again, I promise you, forgive me. - Aveva l'anima piena di tenerezza alle volte; ma l'orgoglio non la lasciava uscire. he had|the soul|full|of|tenderness|at|times|but|the pride|not|it|let|to come out - Su alma estaba llena de ternura a veces; pero el orgullo no la dejaba salir. - He sometimes had a soul full of tenderness; but pride would not let it out. - Ah Ferruccio!

Rimasero tutti e due col respiro sospeso. they remained|everyone|and|two|with the|breath|suspended They both remained with bated breath. Non sentivan che il rumore dell'acqua. not|they felt|that|the|noise|of the water They could only hear the sound of the water. Poi tutti e due ebbero un brivido. then|everyone|and|two|they had|a|shiver Then both of them felt a shiver. All'uno e all'altra era parso di sentire uno stropiccìo di piedi nello stanzino. to one|and|to the other|it was|it seemed|to|to hear|one|scraping|of|feet|in the|small room To each of them, it seemed they heard a rustling of feet in the small room. - Chi c'è? Who|there is - Who's there? - domandò il ragazzo, raccogliendo il fiato a fatica. he asked|the|boy|collecting|the|breath|with|effort - asked the boy, struggling to catch his breath. Nessuno rispose.

Who|is there - Who's there? - ridomandò Ferruccio, agghiacciato dalla paura. he asked again|Ferruccio|chilled|by the|fear - Ferruccio asked again, frozen with fear. Ma aveva appena pronunciato quelle parole, che tutt'e due gettarono un grido di terrore. but|he had|just|pronounced|those|words|that|both|two||a|shout|of|terror But as soon as he had spoken those words, both let out a scream of terror. Due uomini erano balzati nella stanza; l'uno afferrò il ragazzo e gli cacciò una mano sulla bocca; l'altro strinse la vecchia alla gola; il primo disse: - Zitto, se non vuoi morire! two|men|they were|jumped|in the|room|one|he grabbed|the|boy||to him|he shoved|a|hand|on the|mouth|the other|he tightened||old woman|to the|throat||first|he said|quiet|if|not|you want|to die Two men had jumped into the room; one grabbed the boy and covered his mouth with a hand; the other tightened his grip around the old woman's throat; the first said: - Quiet, if you don't want to die! - il secondo: - Taci! the|second|Shut up - the second: - Be quiet! - e levò un coltello. and|he raised|a|knife - and he raised a knife. L'uno e l'altro avevano una pezzuola scura sul viso, con due buchi davanti agli occhi. the one|and|the other|they had|a|cloth|dark|on the|face|with|two|holes|in front of|to the|eyes Both of them had a dark cloth over their faces, with two holes in front of their eyes. Per un momento non si sentì altro che il respiro affannoso di tutti e quattro e lo scrosciar della pioggia; la vecchia metteva dei rantoli fitti, e aveva gli occhi fuor del capo. for|a|moment|not|he|he felt|else|that|the|breath|labored|of|all|and|four|and||||||||||||he had|the|eyes|out|of the|head For a moment, all that could be heard was the heavy breathing of all four and the patter of the rain; the old woman was making deep gasps, and her eyes were bulging out of her head. Quello che teneva il ragazzo, gli disse nell'orecchio: - Dove tiene i danari tuo padre? that one|who|he was holding|the|boy|to him|he said|in the ear|where|does he keep|the|money|your|father The one holding the boy whispered in his ear: - Where does your father keep the money? Il ragazzo rispose con un fil di voce, battendo i denti: - Di là... nell'armadio. the|boy|he answered|with|a|thread|of|voice|shaking|the|teeth|There|there| The boy replied in a whisper, chattering his teeth: - Over there... in the closet. - Vieni con me, - disse l'uomo. come|with|me|he said|the man - Come with me, - said the man. E lo trascinò nello stanzino, tenendolo stretto alla gola. and|him|he dragged|into the|small room|holding him|tight|to the|throat And he dragged him into the small room, holding him tightly by the throat. Là c'era una lanterna cieca, sul pavimento. there|there was|a|lantern|blind|on the|floor There was a blind lantern on the floor. - Dov'è l'armadio? where is|the wardrobe - Where is the wardrobe? - domandò. he asked - he asked. Il ragazzo, soffocato, accennò l'armadio. the|boy|suffocated|he gestured|the wardrobe The boy, choked, pointed to the wardrobe. Allora, per esser sicuro del ragazzo, l'uomo lo gittò in ginocchio, davanti all'armadio, e serrandogli forte il collo fra le proprie gambe, in modo da poterlo strozzare se urlava, e tenendo il coltello fra i denti e la lanterna da una mano, cavò di tasca con l'altra un ferro acuminato, lo ficcò nella serratura, frugò, ruppe, spalancò i battenti, rimescolò in furia ogni cosa, s'empì le tasche, richiuse, tornò ad aprire, rifrugò: poi riafferrò il ragazzo alla strozza, e lo risospinse di là, dove l'altro teneva ancora agguantata la vecchia, convulsa, col capo arrovesciato e la bocca aperta. So|to|to be|sure|of the|boy|the man|him|he threw|on|knee|front|to the wardrobe|and|holding tightly to him|strong|the|neck|between|the|own|legs|to|way|to|to be able to|strangle|if|he screamed|and||||||||the||||||||||||sharp||||||||||||||||||||||he searched||he regripped||||he strangled|||he pushed|||||||agguanted||old woman|convulsed|with|head|upside down|||mouth|open Entonces, para estar seguro del muchacho, el hombre lo arrojó de rodillas frente al armario, y apretándole fuertemente el cuello entre las piernas, de modo que si gritaba podía estrangularlo, y sosteniendo el cuchillo entre los dientes y el farol en una mano, sacó de su bolsillo un hierro afilado con la otra, lo introdujo en la cerradura, rebuscó, la abrió, tiró todo hacia atrás con furia, se llenó los bolsillos, los cerró, volvió a abrirlos, rebuscó de nuevo: luego volvió a agarrar al chico por el estrangulador y tiró de él hacia donde el otro aún sujetaba a la anciana, convulsa, con la cabeza ladeada y la boca abierta. Then, to be sure of the boy, the man threw him to his knees in front of the wardrobe, and tightening his neck between his own legs, so that he could strangle him if he screamed, and holding the knife between his teeth and the lantern in one hand, he took out a sharp iron from his pocket, shoved it into the lock, rummaged, broke it, flung open the doors, frantically mixed everything up, filled his pockets, closed it, opened it again, rummaged again: then he grabbed the boy by the throat again, and pushed him back to where the other still held the old woman, convulsed, with her head thrown back and her mouth open. Costui domandò a bassa voce: - Trovato? this man|he asked|at|low|voice|found Preguntó en voz baja: - ¿Lo has encontrado? He asked in a low voice: - Found? Il compagno rispose: - Trovato. the|companion|he answered|found The companion replied: - Found. E soggiunse: - Guarda all'uscio. and|he added|look|at the door And he added: - Look at the door. Quello che teneva la vecchia corse alla porta dell'orto a vedere se c'era nessuno, e disse dallo stanzino, con una voce che parve un fischio: - Vieni. that one|who|he was holding|the|old|he ran|to the|door|of the garden|to|to see|if|there was|nobody|and|he said|from the|small room|with|a|voice|that|it seemed|a|whistle|Come El que sujetaba a la anciana corrió a la puerta del jardín para ver si había alguien, y dijo desde el cuartito, con voz que parecía un silbido: - Ven. The one who was with the old woman ran to the garden door to see if anyone was there, and said from the small room, in a voice that sounded like a whistle: - Come. Quello che era rimasto, e che teneva ancora Ferruccio mostrò il coltello al ragazzo e alla vecchia che riapriva gli occhi, e disse: - Non una voce, o torno indietro e vi sgozzo! that|which|it was|remaining|and|that|he held|still|Ferruccio|he showed|the|knife|to the|boy|and|to the|old woman|who|she reopened|the|eyes|and|he said|not|a|voice|or|I go back|back|and|you|I slit the throat El que quedaba, y que aún sujetaba a Ferruccio mostró el cuchillo al niño y a la anciana, que volvió a abrir los ojos, y dijo: - ¡Ni una palabra, o vuelvo y os degüello! What was left, and what Ferruccio still held, showed the knife to the boy and the old woman who was reopening her eyes, and said: - Not a word, or I will go back and slit your throats! E li fisso un momento tutti e due. and|them|I fix|a|moment|all|and|two Y me quedo mirándolas un momento. And he fixed both of them with a stare for a moment. In quel punto si sentì lontano, per lo stradone, un canto di molte voci. at|that|point|he|he felt|far away|through|the|big street|a|song|of|many|voices At that moment, a distant sound of many voices singing was heard along the road. Il ladro voltò rapidamente il capo verso l'uscio, e in quel moto violento gli cadde la pezzuola dal viso. the|thief|he turned|quickly|the|head|towards|the door|and|in|that|motion|violent|it|it fell|the|cloth|from the|face The thief quickly turned his head towards the door, and in that violent motion, the cloth fell from his face. La vecchia gettò un urlo: - Mozzoni! the|old woman|she threw|a|shout|Mozzoni The old woman let out a scream: - Mozzoni! - Maledetta! damned - Damned! - ruggì il ladro, riconosciuto. he roared|the|thief|recognized - roared the thief, recognized. - Devi morire! you must|to die - You must die!

The murderer fled, bumping into the table and knocking over the lamp, which went out. Il ragazzo scivolò lentamente di sopra alla nonna, e cadde in ginocchio, e rimase in quell'atteggiamento, con le braccia intorno alla vita di lei e il capo sul suo seno. the|boy|slid|slowly|of|above|to the|grandmother|and|he fell|on|knee||he remained|in|that attitude|with|the|arms|around||waist|of|she|||head|on the||breast El niño se deslizó lentamente sobre su abuela, cayó de rodillas y permaneció en esa actitud, con los brazos alrededor de su cintura y la cabeza sobre su pecho.

Goodbye, grandma... - In the name of heaven, what is wrong with you! - gridò la vecchia palpando affannosamente il capo del ragazzo che le si era abbandonato sulle ginocchia; e poi con quanta voce avea in gola disperatamente: - Ferruccio! he shouted|the|old woman|feeling|anxiously|the|head|of the|boy|who|to her|himself|he was|abandoned|on the|knees|and|then|with|how much|voice|he had|in|throat|desperately|Ferruccio - gritó la anciana, tanteando trabajosamente la cabeza del niño que se había abandonado en su regazo; y luego con tanta voz como desesperadamente tenía en la garganta: -¡Ferruccio! - shouted the old woman, frantically feeling the boy's head who had collapsed onto her knees; and then with all the voice she had in her throat, desperately: - Ferruccio! Ferruccio! Ferruccio Ferruccio! Ferruccio! Ferruccio Ferruccio! Bambino mio! child|my My child! Amor mio! love|my My love!
