Fado Tropical
O mundo do rio
the world of the river
is not the world of the bridge not the world
of memory não o mundo do passado
not the world of the past não o mundo da
saudade not the world of longing
beneath the pollen that lacquers the surface beneath the light
that combs the water something indeterminate
lies in wait
o que é what is it
that swims like a fish but is not a fish
that eats bone and flesh but has no teeth
cold-blooded, intelligent
suave como uma pantera smooth as a panther
Leia a água
read the river
translate
