Pro Renato Teixeira
Oswaldo Montenegro
For Renato Teixeira
I asked Renato Teixeira
What's the way for life to shine
He said: Lighting the bonfire
Taking a star and throwing it into the sea
I asked if truth is a lie
And if the spinning body wobbles in the air
He said: It's the sound of this lyre
That brings joy for us to sing
I asked if what passes returns
He said: What was will never come back
But beyond the future, the past
Looks at us sideways, wanting to play
I asked if for a violist
The question is money or what will be
He said: The answer is the brunette
Lying in the hammock chatting away
I asked about the mysteries of things
Philosophies for people to ponder
He said: The answer is silence
That lives peacefully at the bottom of the sea
