La luna
Catherine Ribeiro
The Moon
And the moon that wandered
Between clouds and cypress trees
A tear crashed down onto the sea
And the child who watched it
Thinking it was a lantern
Heard cries and lamentations
The misery... never...
The misery... never...
Never...
In my interstellar space
Blinded by the stars
I decorated the darkness for her eyes
That the light can't catch
In my deep despair
The blinding profile of cold and hunger
The misery... the misery...
The shame... the shame...
The misery...
In the anguish, I will be an accomplice
Confidante of all her dreams
Comfort in the sleep of her resentments
I will be the wind of her revolt
And shelter from her fears
The mirror of her disappointment for the Universe
The misery... never...
The misery... never...
Never...
And the moon that wandered
In the centuries of her eyes
A tear crashed down onto it
The misery... the misery...
The shame... the shame...
The misery...
