The Intimate Parable

(Afonso Felix e Souza)

Maybe not for love

But by illumination

Sea of Sun and Fury

Trembled of tenderness

I gave a lot to love

Not for a moment

A sudden awakening

The Estuary of Demand

In a dismembered mirror

It was a crazy time

From the door that closed me,

He pulled the gravel

I could have had enough

Because you gave me everything

I could go up to heaven

to light a star

I could feel the sea.

Listen to the far sea

I could keep my life.

and in my hands drink it

I could feel

The slow poison

Maybe not for love.

by Enchantment

Maybe it wasn't for love

but for dazzle

Seas of sun and fury

trembled with tenderness

And I gave a lot to love

in the rapture of a moment

in a sudden wake up

in the estuary of demand

And in dismembered mirror

a crazy time opened

that, from the portal that encloses me,

uprooted the gravel

So I could have enough

for giving me everything

I could go up to the sky

and light a star

I could feel the sea

and hear the distant sea

I could retain life

and in my hands drink it

I could even feel

your slow poison

maybe not for love

but by enchantment.

Talvez não fora por amor
mas por deslumbramento
Mares de sol e fúria
tremeram de ternura
E muito dei de amar
no enlevo de um momento
num súbito acordar
no estuário da procura
E em desmembrado espelho
abriu-se um tempo louco
que, do portal que me encerra,
arrancou o gravelho
Então eu pude ter bastante
por ter-me dado todo
Pude subir ao céu
e acender uma estrela
Pude sentir o mar
e ouvir o mar distante
Pude reter a vida
e em minhas mãos bebê-la
Pude até sentir
seu veneno lento
Talvez não por amor
Mas por encantamento.
