Corpo iluminado

Corpo iluminado

De que túnel de que árvore

De que zero de remorso

De que rasura do vento

De que núpcias de mármore

De que fresta de que pórtico

Saíste neste momento

 

Para que praia que porto

Que fugitiva garupa

Que torre desconhecida

Que mãos que braços que rosto

Que tempestade difusa

Te encontras já de partida

 

Não és de nenhum sossego

Vives no gume do ser

Na fronteira do devir

E assim me tornas eu mesma

Entre nascer e morrer

Entre chegar e partir*

 

voice: Christina Branco

poem: David Mourão Ferreira

 

 

Enlightened Body

From what tunnel which tree

What zero of remorse

What whipping of the wind

What nuptials of marble

From what cleft which portico

Did you come out right now

 

To which beach which port

What fleeing rump

What unknown tower

Which hands which arms which face

To what formless storm

Are you now setting forth?

 

You belong to no serenity

You live on the cutting edge of being

On the border of what is to come

And thus you turn me into myself

Between being born and dying

Between arriving and departing
