Pequena elegia de Setembro

Não sei como vieste,
mas deve haver um caminho
para regressar da morte.

Estás sentada no jardim,
as mãos no regaço cheias de doçura,
os olhos pousados nas últimas rosas
dos grandes e calmos dias de setembro.

Que música escutas tão atentamente
que não dás por mim?
Que bosque, ou rio, ou mar?
Ou é dentro de ti
que tudo canta ainda?

Queria falar contigo,
dizer-te apenas que estou aqui,
mas tenho medo,
medo que toda a música cesse
e tu não possas mais olhar as rosas.
Medo de quebrar o fio
com que teces os dias sem memória.

Com que palavras
ou beijos ou lágrimas
se acordam os mortos sem os ferir,
sem os trazer a esta espuma negra
onde corpos e corpos se repetem,
parcimoniosamente, no meio de sombras?

Deixa-te estar assim,
ó cheia de doçura,
sentada, olhando as rosas,
e tão alheia
que nem dás por mim.

 "Father and Son"


Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
