some smoking pot Explanation: *farsi una canna* means rolling or smoking a joint as for the tense, I think we can't tell without reading the whole poem |

10 mins confidence:
some roll a joint... Explanation: considering that "canna" is sometimes used in italian to name a marihuana or hashish roll up... but again, it all depends on the rest of the sentence or paragraph. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 50 mins (2005-06-16 00:15:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think both answers are rigth, but it all depends on the format of your translation. If you´re writing \"some are looking at the birds; some are rolling a joint..\"... or \" there are some talking nonse, and some smoking pot..\" |
