La strada che non presi, Robert Frost

with one comment

Robert Frost

Due strade divergevano in un bosco giallo
e mi dispiaceva non poterle percorrere entrambe
ed essendo un solo viaggiatore, rimasi a lungo
a guardarne una fino a che potei

Poi presi l’altra, perché era altrettanto bella,
e aveva forse l’ aspetto migliore,
perché era erbosa e meno consumata;
Sebbene il passaggio le avesse rese
quasi simili

ed entrambe quella mattina erano lì uguali
con foglie che nessun passo aveva annerito.
Oh, misi da parte la prima per un altro giorno!
Pur sapendo come una strada porti ad un’altra,
dubitavo se mai sarei tornato indietro.

Lo racconterò con un sospiro
da qualche parte tra anni e anni:
due strade divergevano in un bosco, e io –
io presi la meno battuta,
e quello ha fatto tutta la differenza.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I –
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
