Italia

La lingua Italia pura poetica,

Plena di musica y joia de vida …

Vida bonita, generosa y sofistica.

Rica di colora,

Como di fresca.

Dramatica, historica, religiosa,

Plena di amora y passiona.

Natales y muertes,

Deus y deviles

Cielo con nuaga, blanca y ora;

Infernos con fuego, roso y amarillo.

Italia, uno otro mundo, uno otro tiempo.

Cultura speciala, uniqua, resilianta, resistanta.

Italia, no cambia mucha desde pasaga de tiempo.

Italia, uno tesoro amato di tutti in eterno.

 

This poem was not only inspired by the beauty of Italy, but also the fabrication of words in Edward Lear’s ‘Nonsense Poems’. I have since found out that such verse is called ‘Macaronic rhyme’.

Macaronic refers to text spoken or written using a mixture of languages
