Os Ilhéus [English translation]

A wave can fall from the sky

As imponderable as the clouds

And fall down on the day, like a veil

Or the lid of a coffin

And there's nothing that will prevent

Neo-Atlantis and skyscrapers from sinking

Or nothing that will stop our cities of light,

All submerged, from becoming mausoleums

In archipelagos, the islanders

Will tread on ruins, by the shore

Amazed and in awe

And all devoted to insoluble questions

Foam and sand are useless

And idle fiery walks

A shadow can fall from the sky

As imponderable as the clouds

And fall down on the day, like a veil

Or the lid of a coffin

And there's nothing that will prevent

Neo-Atlantis and skyscrapers from sinking

Or nothing that will stop our cities of light,

All submerged, from becoming mausoleums

In archipelagos, the islanders

Will tread on ruins, by the shore

Amazed and in awe

And all devoted to insoluble questions

Foam and sand are useless

And idle fiery walks

A wave can fall from the sky...
