Berlin

Berlin
Days go away
without writing
neither life
nor faith
or adventure

within the dominant comfort
of aging
without warning

no fright

as if it was welcomed
in the context of the soul that claims

indolent
and unresigned

the body's desires.

///

Passam-se os dias
sem escrita
nem vida
nem fé
nem aventura

no conforto dominante
da velhice
sem aviso

nem sobressalto

como se fosse bem-vinda
no contexto da alma que reclama
indolente
e inconformada

os desejos do corpo.

by Armando TABORDA, in "POETÂNEA 5", 2006

(post 1st edition, 2016; 2nd edition, 2020; 3rd edition, 2024)

alas my glass is empty now
a clear head I need for where I go
to see the sights and sounds it's true
I know there is much for me to do . . .
the need to prepare for what I shall see
and for some silence that I know must be
in my heart and head a sanctuary
I leave In silence with my thoughts . . .
remembering everything I've been taught

Gosto muito, Armando
Berlim é, na realidade, uma cidade maravilhosa
Pelo clima, depois de Lisboa eu vou para o sul, Itália

Armando Taborda club has replied to J.Garcia club
No Sul é que a gente está bem! Mas de facto, Berlim, é uma cidade que recupera com qualidade da separação imposta no pós-guerra! Muita coisa para ver, muito conforto e qualidade de vida. Só a dieta não presta, aliás, em toda a Alemanha. Nada substitui com vantagem as dietas Portuguesa (1ª) e Italiana (2ª).

Gosta e agradeço que tenhas apreciado o texto.
