Aquarela

Numa folha qualquerEu desenho um sol amareloE com cinco ou seis retasÉ fácil fazer um castelo...

Corro o lápis em tornoDa mão e me dou uma luvaE se faço choverCom dois riscosTenho um guarda-chuva...

Se um pinguinho de tintaCai num pedacinhoAzul do papelNum instante imaginoUma linda gaivotaA voar no céu...

Vai voandoContornando a imensaCurva Norte e SulVou com elaViajando HavaíPequim ou IstambulPinto um barco a velaBrando navegandoÉ tanto céu e marNum verde azul...

Entre as nuvensVem surgindo um lindoAvião rosa e grenáTudo em volta colorindoCom suas luzes a piscar...

Basta imaginar e ele estáPartindo, sereno e lindoSe a gente quiserEle vai pousar...

Numa folha qualquerEu desenho um navioDe partidaCom alguns bons amigosBebendo de bem com a vida...

De uma América a outraEu consigo passar num segundoGiro um simples compassoE num círculo eu faço o mundo...

Um menino caminhaE caminhando chega no muroE ali logo em frenteA esperar pela genteO futuro está...

E o futuro é uma astronaveQue tentamos pilotarNão tem tempo, nem piedadeNem tem hora de chegarSem pedir licençaMuda a nossa vidaE depois convidaA rir ou chorar...

Nessa estrada não nos cabeConhecer ou ver o que viráO fim dela ninguém sabeBem ao certo onde vai darVamos todosNuma linda passarelaDe uma aquarelaQue um dia enfimDescolorirá...

Numa folha qualquerEu desenho um sol amarelo(Que descolorirá!)E com cinco ou seis retasÉ fácil fazer um castelo(Que descolorirá!)Giro um simples compassoNum círculo eu façoO mundo(Que descolorirá!)...

Watercolour

In a sheet of paperI draw an yellow-coloured sunAnd with five or six straight linesI easily draw a castle

I run the pencil to countour my fingersand I get myself a glove on the paper.And if I draw the rain ,By just stroking two dashes,I easily get an umbrella

If a little drop of paintdrips on a blue portion of my drawFor an instant, I imagine it to bea beautiful gull, flying in the sky

And she flies on and onContouring a huge line over the horizont,From the north to the south.And I'm flying along with herOver HavaiBeijing or Istambul.I paint a sailboat,which is smoothly sailing awayThere's so much of the sky and sea's immensityinto the blue-green colour

Through the clouds a beautiful airplanein pink and granate is comming overWith its colours, it cheerfully tinges all around,as it passes by and its lights blink vividly

With a bit of imagination,I see it taking off, quietly and beautifullyAnd if you wantI can make it land

In any sheet of paper,I draw a sail, leaving the quay,With me and some of my friends in itDrinking and having a good time, all in peace with life

From America to America*,I can easily travel in a blink.I just turn a compass aroundand with a circle I draw the world .

A boy is walking on and onas he reaches a wallOver this wall, not too far from it,the future is waiting for us

And the future is a spaceshipWhich we try to drive.But the future is always hurried and merciless.There's no right time for it to come,And without asking or warning us,It just changes our livesAnd then it beckons usto cry or laugh together

Along this road, it's not our dutyto know or see what's comming to usNo one surely knows where it's heading us toWe're just going on the wayCrossing a beautiful footbridgePainted in watercolourwhich someday will fade after all

In a sheet of paper, I draw an yellow-coloured sun(which will fade someday)And with five or six straight lines I easily draw a castle(which will fade someday)I just turn a compass aroundand with a circle I draw the world(which will fade someday)
