No teu poema
In your poem
Existe um verso em branco e sem medida
There is a blank and unmeasured verse
Um corpo que respira, um céu aberto
A breathing body, an open sky
Janela debruçada para a vida
Window looking into life
No teu poema
In your poem
Existe a dor calada lá no fundo
There is silent pain deep inside
O passo da coragem em casa escura
The step of courage in a dark house
E aberta uma varanda para o mundo
And open a balcony to the world
Existe a noite
There is night
O riso e a voz refeita à luz do dia
Laughter and voice remade in the light of day
A festa da senhora d'agonia e o cansaço
The party of the lady of agony and tiredness
Do corpo que adormece em cama fria
Of the body that falls asleep in a cold bed
Existe um rio
There is a river
A sina de quem nasce fraco ou forte
The fate of those born weak or strong
O risco, a raiva e a luta
The risk, the anger and the struggle
De quem cai ou que resiste
Of those who fall or who resist
Que vence ou adormece antes da morte
That wins or falls asleep before death
No teu poema
In your poem
Existe o grilo e o eco da metralha
There is the cricket and the echo of the grapeshot
A dor que sei de cor mas não recito
The pain that I know by heart but I don't recite
E os sonos inquietos de quem falha
And the restless sleep of those who fail
No teu poema
In your poem
Existe um cantochão alentejano
There is an Alentejo plainchant
A rua e o pregão de uma varina
The street and the trading floor of a varina
E um barco assoprado a todo o pano
And a boat blown to the fullest
Existe um rio
There is a river
O canto em vozes juntas, vozes certas
Singing in united voices, right voices
Canção de uma só letra e um só destino a embarcar
Song with a single lyric and a single destination to embark on
No cais da nova nau das descobertas
At the pier of the new ship of discoveries
Existe um rio
There is a river
A sina de quem nasce fraco ou forte
The fate of those born weak or strong
O risco, a raiva e a luta
The risk, the anger and the struggle
De quem cai ou que resiste
Of those who fall or who resist
Que vence ou adormece
That wins or falls asleep
Antes da morte
Before death
No teu poema
In your poem
Existe a esperança acesa atrás do mundo
There is hope burning behind the world
Existe tudo mais que ainda me escapa
There is everything else that still escapes me
E um verso em branco à espera do futuro
And a blank verse waiting for the future
