Si chiamava Gesù

Venuto da molto lontanoa convertire bestie e gente,non si può dire non sia servito a nienteperché prese la terra per mano.Vestito di sabbia e di bianco,alcuni lo dissero santo;per altri ebbe meno virtù:si faceva chiamare Gesù.

Non intendo cantare la gloriané invocare la grazia o il perdonodi chi penso non fu altri che un uomocome Dio passato alla storia.Ma inumano è pur sempre l'amoredi chi rantola senza rancoreperdonando con l'ultima vocechi lo uccide fra le braccia di una croce.

E per quelli che l'ebbero odiatonel Getsemani pianse l'addiocome per chi l'adorò come Dio,che gli disse "Sii sempre lodato",per chi gli portò in dono alla fineuna lacrima o una treccia di spine,accettando ad estremo salutola preghiera e l'insulto e lo sputo.

E morì come tutti si muore,come tutti cambiando colore.Non si può dire che sia servito a moltoperché il male dalla terra non fu tolto.Ebbe forse un po' troppe virtù,ebbe un volto ed un nome: Gesù.Di Maria dicono fosse il figlio,sulla croce sbiancò come un giglio.

He Was Called Jesus

He came from far awayto convert beasts and people,you can’t say it’s been useless,because he took the Earth by the hand.Dressed in sand and white,someone called him a saint,others thought he had less virtues;he was called Jesus.

I do not intend to sing the glorynor to beseech the clemency or the forgivenessof someone whom I think was nothing but a manwho went down in history as God.Yet, it is indeed inhuman, the loveof someone who has no resentment even in his death rattle,who forgives - with his last voice -those who are killing him in the arms of a cross.

And for those who hated him,in the Gethsemane1 he cried when he had to part from them,as he did for those who worshipped him as God,who told him ‟May you be praised forever”,for those who brought him - at the end -a tear or a braid of thorns as a gift,accepting prayer, insult and spitas a final farewell.

And he died, as we all die,changing color, like everyone.You can’t say it’s been of much use,because evil wasn’t removed from Earth.Maybe he had a bit too many virtues,he had a face and a name: Jesus.They say he was Mary’s son;on the cross, he turned as white as a lily.
