Árbol de fuego
Alfredo Espino

Son tan vivos los rubores
de tus flores, raro amigo,
que yo a tus flores les digo:
“Corazones hechos flores”.

Y a pensar a veces llego:
Si este árbol labios se hiciera…
¡ah, cuánto beso naciera
de tantos labios de fuego…!

Amigo: qué lindos trajes
te ha regalado el Señor;
te prefirió con su amor
vistiendo de celajes…

Qué bueno el cielo contigo,
árbol de la tierra mía…
Con el alma te bendigo,
porque me das tu poesía…

Bajo un jardín de celajes,
al verte estuve creyendo
que ya el sol se estaba hundiendo
adentro de tus ramajes.

Welcome to Comme se dice?, the podcast that celebrates the Neapolitan language and its rich cultural heritage. In this fourth episode, we dive into the world of the words “Paisà” and “Sciuscià,” terms that narrate stories from an era marked by World War II, the struggles of immigrants, and pivotal historical events such as the Quattro Giornate di Napoli.
Throughout the episode, we analyze the historical context in which these words were born and evolved, highlighting their connection with neorealist films – particularly Roberto Rossellini’s Paisà and Vittorio De Sica’s Sciuscià. By exploring this dialogue between history, cinema, and everyday language, we uncover how “Paisà” and “Sciuscià” have become enduring symbols of resilience, courage, and rebirth, conveying the daily realities of life during times of crisis and change.
This episode is an invitation for anyone interested in exploring the intricate links between language and history, providing insightful reflections on how words can encapsulate entire eras and cultures. Whether you are passionate about history, neorealist cinema, or the Neapolitan language, get ready for an exciting journey into the heart of historical and artistic memory. Press play, relax, and let yourself be carried away by a narrative that unites art, reality, and emotion. Jammo ja!
