Um Sonho
Caetano Veloso
A Dream
moon on the wet leaf
blue-white shine
eye-water, red from the bare gutter
your smooth flank
rose-spark nipples
old gold strands at the nape
star-mouth of millions of kiss-lights
moon
fruit flower leafy
ah! the path to reach you
branch, woman, leaf, children
mesh of galaxies
your skin spreads
at the sound of my hand
tracing you routes
your cut, my hammer
your cut, my hammer
the ebb and flow of your
the ebb and flow of your island
moon
all my rain
all my dew
falls on you
if you collapse and mirror from the bed
the wonder-light of my sky
white jabuticaba
