Que ponte de sal
passam os pássaros
a caminho da Quinta da Cravel!
Siri-miri (em euskuldora).
Está a chuviscar entre os
os pinheiros, os pinheiros,
os pinheiros adormecidos.
Que sons?
Que palavras?
O que chega aqui,
trazido pelos pássaros
e a maré salgada
de longe, de muito longe
senão o mais simples, o mais vulgar
das coisas -
sementes, barcos, ossos e pedras.

What a bridge of salt
the birds pass
on their way to Quinta da Cravel!
Siri-miri (in euskuldora).
It's drizzling among the
the pine trees, the pine trees,
the sleeping pines.
What sounds?
What words?
What comes here,
brought by the birds
and the salty tide
from far, far away
but the simplest, most ordinary
things -
seeds, boats, bones and stones.

my twelve years spent among your peonies.
