Anahorish

Meu "Lugar de Água Limpa"
My "Place Of Clear Water"
A primeira colina do mundo
The first hill in the world
Onde as molas foram lavadas
Where springs washed into
A relva brilhante
The shiny grass

E parabens escurecidos
And darkened cobbles
Na cama da pista
In the bed of the lane
Anahorish, gradiente suave
Anahorish, soft gradient
De consoante, vogal-prado
Of consonant, vowel-meadow

After-image of lamps
After-image of lamps
Atravessou os anos
Swung through the years
Nas noites de inverno
On winter evenings
Com baldes e cordeiras
With pails and barrows

Aqueles moradores
Those mound-dwellers
Vá na cintura na névoa
Go waist-deep in mist
Para quebrar o gelo leve
To break the light ice
Em poços e estrangulamentos
At wells and dunghills
