Uma onda pode vir do céu
A wave can come from the sky
Imponderável como as nuvens
Imponderable as clouds
E cair no dia feito um véu
And fall on the day like a veil
Ou a tampa de um ataúde
Or the lid of a tuna
E nada impede que se afundem
And nothing stops them from sinking
Neo-atlântidas e arranha-céus
Neo-atlantis and skyscrapers
Ou que nossas cidades-luzes
Or that our light cities
Submersas se tornem mausoléus
Submerged become mausoleums
Em arquipélagos, os ilhéus
In archipelagos, the islets
Pisarão ruínas ao lume do mar
They will step ruins to the sea fire
Maravilhados e incréus do mar
Marveled and incréus of the sea
E devotados a insolúveis questões
And devoted to insoluble issues
Espuma, areia
Foam, sand
Fúteis e ardentes caminhadas ao léu
Futile and ardent walks to the léu
Uma sondra pode vir do céu
A sondra can come from heaven
Imponderável como as nuvens
Imponderable as clouds
E cair no dia feito um véu
And fall on the day like a veil
Ou a tampa de um ataúde
Or the lid of a tuna
E nada impede que se afundem
And nothing stops them from sinking
Neo-atlântidas e arranha-céus
Neo-atlantis and skyscrapers
Ou que nossas cidades-luzes
Or that our light cities
Submersas se tornem mausoléus
Submerged become mausoleums
Em arquipélagos, os ilhéus
In archipelagos, the islets
Pisarão ruínas ao lume do mar
They will step ruins to the sea fire
Maravilhados e incréus do mar
Marveled and incréus of the sea
E devotados a insolúveis questões
And devoted to insoluble issues
Espuma, areia
Foam, sand
Fúteis e ardentes caminhadas ao léu
Futile and ardent walks to the léu
Uma onda pode vir do céu
A wave can come from the sky
