Summary[edit]

Description
English: Giuseppe Gioachino Belli was a roman poet who lived in Rome in the first half of the 19th century.

At his time, Rome was under the roman catholic pope. He is the first who dared to write poems in the roman dialect which was - and is still - particularly coarse and direct.

In this sonnet, Er confessore (The confessor), the poet tells the story of a lady who has awful sins to confess ...

The confessor


«Father...». «Recite the confiteor». «I've already done it».
«The contrition prayer?» «I've done that too».
«So, go on». «I've called my husband jerk
And I stole some money from him».

«And?» «Since my cat broke some glasses
I shrilled: “A curse upon you!”;
and it's a God's creature!». «Anything else?» «I see
a young man and I made sex with him.

«What happened then?» «So many things.
«What? Always, I hope, the straight way».
«Also the other way...». «Oh What an awful sin!

So, because of this young man,
come back, my daughter, with an afflicted heart,
tomorrow, by me, around eight pm».

— Giuseppe Gioachino Belli, sonnet 595, Er confessore, Rome, 17 December 1832

, in: Er confessore

«Padre...». «Dite il confiteor». «L’ho ddetto».
«L’atto di contrizione?» «Ggià l’ho ffatto».
«Avanti dunque». «Ho ddetto cazzo-matto
a mmi’ marito, e jj’ho arzato un grossetto».

«Poi?» «Pe una pila che mme róppe er gatto
je disse for de mé: “Ssi’ mmaledetto”;
e è ccratura de Ddio!». «C’è altro?» «Tratto
un giuvenotto e cce sò ita a lletto.

«E llí ccosa è ssucesso?» «Un po’ de tutto.
«Cioè? Sempre, m’immagino, pel dritto».
«Puro a rriverzo...». «Oh che peccato brutto!

Dunque, in causa di questo giovanotto,
tornate, figlia, cor cuore trafitto,
domani, a casa mia, verso le otto».
