Poema dos Olhos da Amada [English translation]

Oh, my beloved

Those eyes of yours

They are nocturnal piers

Full of farewell

They are tame docks

Cintilating lights

Which shine far

Far on the piches

Oh, my beloved

Those eyes of yours

How much mistery

In your eyes

How many sloops

How many ships

How many wrecks

In your eyes

Oh, my beloved

Those eyes of yours

If God let be

Then God made them

Because no one could

Unless he knew

There are many ages

In your eyes

Ah, my beloved

With atheist eyes

Creating hope

In my eyes

Of one day seeing

The mendicant look

Of poetry

In your eyes
