French to Italian: Trois Femmes Puissants General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - French Elle l'étreignit brièvement, sans le presser contre elle, se rappelant qu'il détestait le contact physique à la façcon presque imperceptible dont la chair flasque des bras de son père se rétractait sous ses doigts.
Il lui sembla percevoir un relent de moisi.
Odeur provenant de la floraison abondante,épuisée du gros flamboyant jaune qui poussait ses branches au-dessus du toit plat de la maison et parmi les feuilles duquel nichait peut-être cet homme secret et présomptueux, à l'affût, songeait Norah gênée, du moindre bruit de pas s'approchant de la grille pour prendre son essort et gauchement se poser sur le seuil de sa vaste demeure aux murs de béton brut, ou provenant, cette odeur, du corps même ou des vêtements de son père, de sa peau de vieux, plissée, couleur de cendre, elle ne le savait, elle n'aurait su le dire.
Translation - Italian Lo abbracciò per pochi secondi, senza stringerlo a sé, ricordandosi ch’egli detestava il contatto fisico dal modo quasi impercettibile in cui la carne flaccida delle braccia di suo padre si ritrasse sotto le sue dita.
Le parve di percepire un olezzo di muffa.
Odore proveniente dalla fioritura abbondante, esausta del grande albero di fuoco giallo che spandeva i suoi rami al di sopra del tetto piatto della casa e tra le foglie del quale si annidava forse quell’uomo ermetico e presuntuoso, in attesa, pensava Norah irritata, del minimo rumore di passi per prendere lo slancio e posarsi goffamente sulla soglia della sua vasta dimora dai muri di cemento grezzo, o proveniente, quell’odore, dal corpo stesso o dagli abiti di suo padre, dalla sua pelle di vecchio, rugosa, color di cenere, lei non lo sapeva, non l’avrebbe saputo dire.
