Canção de Madrugar

I dressed you in linen
I adorned you with nard
Love I never saw
But I know

I know of your eyes lit up in the night
Signs of a good awakening
I know of your arms open to all
Who die slowly
I know my invented love that one day
Your body may ignite
A bonfire of sun and fury
That will see us born

I will drink from you
The wine I trod
The gall of what I suffered
And gave, gave

I gave my body the whip of strength
I washed my eyes with water
I gave my blood a sword of anger
And a lance of sorrow
I gave my dream a rope of sleeplessness
I pierced my arms with arrows
I discovered roses, expanded cities
And built poets

And never, never found you
On the road of what I did
Love I did not achieve
But wanted, wanted

I know my invented love that one day
Your body will ignite
A bonfire of sun and fury
That will see us born

Then neither tears, nor fears, nor howls, nor screams, nor
Stones, nor knives, nor hungers, nor droughts, nor
Beasts, nor irons, nor barbs, nor deceptions, nor
Forces, nor thistles, nor darts, nor wars, nor
Tears, nor fears, nor howls, nor screams, nor
Stones, nor knives, nor hungers, nor droughts, nor
Beasts, nor irons, nor barbs, nor deceptions, nor evil
