Aldina Duarte - Luas Brancas

Eram tantas, tantas luas
Que eu despi da tua voz
Todas brancas, todas tuas
Todas por estarmos sós

Eram aves, eram tantas
Nos dedos da tua mão
Era o eco nas gargantas
Das palavras que não são

Era a dança das marés
O mar bravo e o seu reverso
Eram tudo o que tu és
No pulsar do universo

E depois, era mais nada
E mais nada acontecia
Era quase madrugada
Quando o mundo adormecia
João Monge / José Carlos Magala

There were so many, so many moons

That I undressed from your voice

All white, all of you

All for being alone

They were birds were so many

In the fingers of your hand

It was the echo in the throats

Of words that are not

It was the dance of the tides

The brave sea and its reverse

They were all that you are.

In the pulse of the universe

And then, it was anything

And nothing else happened.

It was almost dawn

When the world fell asleep
