Água e Vinho [English translation]

Every day walking stiffly in the doorway of

the courtyard

The dead time , dead stone, agony and oranges

in the courtyard

Life was between the wall and the walls of silence

And the dogs guarding your sleep slept not

They saw shadows in the air, saw shadows in the garden

The dead moon, dead night , gale and a rosary on

The floor

And a yellow and provisional fire consumed the heart

And slowly began to look for fires

And your heart no longer feared the flames of hell

And the endless darkness. Would come love.
