A BOWL OF SOUP

A BOWL OF SOUP
A bowl of soup a humble bowl of soup
I am moved to see it in a festive day
and I enter in the soup
and I am eaten by myself with tears in the eyes

///

UM PRATO DE SOPA

Um prato de sopa um humilde prato de sopa
comovo-me ao vê-lo no dia de festa
e entro dentro da sopa
e sou comido por mim próprio com lágrimas nos olhos

by Ruy BELO (1933-1978), in "TODOS OS POEMAS", Edição do Círculo de Leitores, 2000

(English translated by Armando TABORDA)

(1st edition, 2014; 2nd edition, 2017)
