Desfolhada Portuguesa

Simone de Oliveira Simone de Oliveira

Portuguese Shucking

Body of linen
Lips of must
My beautiful body
My fire set
Cornfield
August moonlight
Who makes a child
Does it for pleasure

It's king corn
Red corn
Clove of flesh
Berry of love
Son of a king
Who being old
Is born again
When there's heat

My word spoken in the light of the rising sun
My dawn madrigal
Love love love love love present
In each shucked ear

My green pine root
My blue sky touching the mountains
Oh my sorrow and my thirst
Oh sea to the south of my land

It's blonde wheat
It's beyond the Tagus
My country
At this moment
The sun burns it
The wind kisses it
Crazy field in motion

My word spoken in the light of the rising sun
My dawn madrigal
Love love love love love present
In each shucked ear

Almond eyes
Dark cistern
Where misfortune hangs
Hidden Moorish woman
Enchanted Moorish woman
Lost legend
Found legend

Oh my land
My adventure
Walnut shell
Abandoned
Oh my land
My distance
Lost by me
Found by me
