Luas Brancas - Aldina Duarte

Eram tantas, tantas luas

Que eu despi da tua voz

Todas brancas, todas tuas

Todas por estarmos sós

Eram aves, eram tantas

Nos dedos da tua mão

Era o eco nas gargantas

Das palavras que não são

Era a dança das marés

O mar bravo e seu reverso

Eram tudo o que tu és

O pulsar do universo

E depois, era mais nada

E mais nada acontecia

Era quase madrugada

Quando o mundo adormecia

There were so many, so many moons

That I stripped of your voice

All white, all yours

All for being alone

There were birds, there were so many

On the fingers of your hand

It was the echo in the throats

Of the words that are not

It was the dance of the tides

The wild sea and its reverse

Were everything you are

The pulsing of the universe

And afterwards, it was nothing more

And nothing else happened

It was almost dawn

When the world fell asleep
