Franco Buffoni

The Pergusa Speedway

Martini keeps the rest of the field in check
And Moreno opens up a wider lead:
In the hour of sweet motors
Curly-headed young men of metal
Resonate like narcissi
In red
The Brazilian\'s car is the best-balanced one,
Proserpine like Moreno
Brazilian driver of the sun
Pluto Pluto
Comes on.

Il circuito di Pergusa

Il circuito di Pergusa

Martini fa da freno agli avversari
E il distacco di Moreno sta aumentando:
Nell\'ora dei dolci motori
Inanellati giovanotti di latta
Risuonano come narcisi
Nel rosso
Il brasiliano ha la macchina ben bilanciata,
Proserpina come Moreno
Brasiliano piloto del sole
Plutone Plutone
Sale.
