As promised earlier, a letter from my amazing partner, Vincenzo Chiofalo. He's been nice, he even gave you an English translation of his Italian!! For those of you who are part of my newsgroup, you will have seen this already, and know about the fabulous project we are doing together, Amore Senza Confini. For those of you who aren't familiar with this special book, drop by the Amore Blog and have a peek at the first official glimpse of the project as we intend to do it. I also have not "edited" his English, because this is his voice not mine, and the beauty of his words is unique.... (You can't really tell that I adore him, can you? He is a special, special person with so much talent, I am so proud to be his friend, and his partner in this amazing endeavour.)
Ciao a tutti, sono Vincenzo, vi ringrazio per i vostri commenti sinceri e puliti. Vi prometto che cerchero di darvi il meglio con Denyse che è una scrittrice fantastica, la quale possiede un gran cuore, una gran mente e tanta voglia di costruire un mondo migliore. Tutto cio che l'essere umano fa e un qualcosa di speciale,anche se pensa sempre di non aver fatto abbastanza. Noi ci confrontiamo ogni volta con il mondo e a volte persone sensibili non ci si ritrovano, al mondo sembra mancare il coraggio di essere romantico e sincero, poiche si pensa di essere messi da parte e di non far paura abbastanza. Io penso che le persone abbiano messo da parte il romanticismo, la dolcezza, la bonta, l'altruismo in un cassetto e abbiano paura delle loro reazioni rispetto al cassetto pieno di sorprese. Avendo un animo puro, aprendo un cassetto di fantasia, poiche questo e rimasto nel nostro mondo, un ricordo sbiadito di tutto cio che puo farci paura e cioe tutto cio che ce nel famoso cassetto. Ti faccio un esempio io ti rispetto come persona e tu mi guardi con quegli occhi increduli, ok usciamo. Ti vengo a prendere in auto, scendo busso alla tua porta, ciao come va? Tu mi chiedi, dove si va? E io dai e una sorpresa, ti porto su una collina dove ce un panorama fantastico, poi stasera ce una leggera brezza che ci accarezza. Tu mi dici, ma perche mi hai portato quassu? Io dico fidati, mi dai 10 minuti e poi ti faccio scendere, tu mi guardi e dici con voce debole,ok ma dentro di te pensi questo e matto. Io scendo dall'auto, tu rimani con pensieri e curiosita ma attendi di vedere come va a finire. Apro il cofano dell'auto,comincio a portare giu il tavolo e lo metto sul balcone naturale della collina, metto la tovaglia, preparo la tavola con semplici cose e un buon vino. Metto su un ottimo disco di musica classica. Raggiungo il cofano dell'auto prendo le rose, ti apro la porta ti tendo la mano, ti do i fiori,ti porto verso il tavolo illuminato con lampade ad olio, ti faccio accomodare sulla sedia, appro il vino. Tu mi guardi incredula e non essendo abituata a cose nuove non ti fidi. Se tu lo avessi fatto a me, io sarei rimasto colpito e folgorato da tanta bellezza e semplicita. Nel mondo bisogna sorprendere con cose semplici e inaspettate, sono le cose che clpiscono di piu e ognuno di noi ha delle belle cose da dare e ricevere, speriamo che il mondo ce ne dia la possibilita e che creda in noi. Scusate questa e la mia presentazione a presto e spero che i regali della nostra mente possano piacervi, sinceramente Vincenzo.
Hello to all, I am Vincenzo, I thank yourselves for your sincere comments and cleaned. I promise yourselves that cerchero of darvi the better one with Denyse that is a fantastic writer, she has a big heart, a big mind and so much desire to build a better world. All that the human being does and a something of special, even if hung always of not to have enough fact. We confront ourselves every time with the world and to sensitive times persons do not us find themselves, to the world seems to be lacking the courage of to be romantic and sincere, poiche is hung to be put aside and of not to make enough fear. I think that the persons have put A drawer and have fear of their reactions with respect to the full drawer by surprise. Having a pure spirit, opening a drawer of fantasy, poiche this and remained in our world, a colorless memory of all than can to do us fear and all that there in the well-known drawer. I do you an example I respect you like person and you look at me with those incredulous eyes, ok we are going out, I come to take You in car, come down knock to your door, hello how goes? You wonder, where goes? AND I from the and a surprise, carry you on a hill where there is a fantastic panorama, then tonight there a light breeze that strokes us. You tell me, but what are we doing? I say trusted, myself give me 10 minute and then make come down you, you look at me and say with weak voice, ok but inside of you think this man is crazy. I come down from the car, you remain with thoughts and curiosity but await to see how goes to end. Open the back of the car, begin to carry the table and put it on the natural balcony of the hill, put it Classic disk of music. I reach the trunk of the car I take the roses, I open you the door I stretch out you the hand, I give you the flowers, I carry you towards the enlightened table with lights to oil, I make settle you on the chair and i open the wine. You look at me incredulous and not having gotten used to new things do not trust you. If you had done it to me, I can remain hit and folgorate from so much beauty and semplicity. In The world is necessary to surprise with simple and unexpected thing, are the things that touch more and everyone of we has of the attractive things to give and to receive, we hope that the world out there give us the possibility do to and accept simply things. You excuse this and my presentation to soon and I hope that the gifts of our mind can give you pleasure, sincerely Vincenzo.

Bellisimo Vincenzo, you are a very lucky lady Denyse. Lots of success to you and Vincenzo.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun trying to translate form one language to another? We host exchange students who usually speak really good English but the families don't always and their children tell us, "There isn't a word for that." They have to explain what their word means. I've learn a lot of discriptive techniques for my writing because of this. Good Luck on your project, Denyse. It sounds really great!
ReplyDeleteOh, you are indeed a lucky lady. What a charming person, and what a gentleman. I could almost hear his voice in that beautiful piece he wrote.
ReplyDeleteI wish you both every success.
