Versos de Orgulho
Florbela Espanca
Verses of Pride
The world wishes me ill because no one
Has wings like I do! Because God
Made me born a princess among commoners
In a tower of pride and disdain
Because my kingdom lies beyond
Because I carry in my gaze the vast skies
And all the treasures and splendors are mine!
Because I am me and because I am someone!
The world? What is the world, oh my love?
The garden of my verses all in bloom
The harvest of your kisses, blessed bread
My ecstasies, my dreams, my weariness
Are your arms within my arms
Milky Way closing the infinite
