O Descobridor

Tinha amor à terra que o mar lhe ocultavaAmor, como uma mulher ao ente que vai nascerAssim ia cuidando e em sonhos se afundavaNo alto da coberta, olhando a proa erguer

Pareceu-lhe que algo se mexiaUma névoa ao longe a querer romperEnquanto o barco, espumando, as águas dividiaDe encontro à terra prestes a nascer

Ao descobri-la porém, soube-lhe a traiçãoNada os unia. Oculto no silêncio, nenhum cordãoDe novo quis encobri-la mas era tarde de mais:Nua jazia aos olhos do mundo. Apenas lhe restavaSeguir curso tristemente, sem destino nem caisE sem corrente – vazio de si no vazio dos mares

The Discoverer

He loves the land that the sea hid from himLove, like a woman to beings who are going to be bornSo was worrying and in dreams was sinkingAt the top of the deck, watching the bow lift.

It seemed to him that something was movingA mist in the distance wanting to breakWhile the boat, foaming, divided the watersAgainst the land about to be born

When I discovered it though, he knew the betrayalNothing united them. Hidden in silence, no cordAgain wanted to cover it up, but it was too late:It lay bare to the world. Only he was leftTo follow the course sadly, no destination or pierAnd without power - empty itself in the emptiness of the seas.
