A Arca de Noé

Seven in colors, suddenly
The rainbow unleashes
In the clear and happy water
Of the little river in the woods

The sun, behind the transparent veil
Of the golden and silver rain
Shines resplendently
In the sky, on the ground, in the waterfall

And the door of the ark opens
Slowly emerging openly
The joy and the white beards
Of the prudent patriarch

Seeing in the distance that mountain
And the plains so green
Noah says: what a good land
To plant my vines

Now go, at the open door
Suddenly, hesitating
Slowly, long and uncertainly emerges
An elephant's trunk

And from a hole
From a window appears
A monkey face
That peeks and disappears

'The forests are all mine!',
Roars proudly the lion
'I'm also a child of God',
One protests, and the tiger - 'No!'

The ark, falling apart
Seems like it's going to collapse
Among the jumps of the animals
All wanting to get out

Finally, with great effort
Going in a line, in pairs
Some angry, others scared
The animals are leaving

The biggest ones come first
Holding their heads high
And the weak ones, humbly
Come behind, as in life

Far away the rainbow fades
And since this story happened
When the veil of night falls
The stars rise in glory
Filling the sky with their whims
In the midst of the silent night
You can hear the animals talking
In the repopulated land
