THE END

THE END
When I die tap in cans,
Break through jumping and bucking,
Do pop whips in the air,
Call clowns and acrobats!

My coffin must go on a donkey
Harnessed to the Andalusian...
Nothing is refused to a dead,
And I strongly wish to go by donkey!

///

FIM

Quando eu morrer batam em latas,
Rompam aos saltos e aos pinotes,
Façam estalar no ar chicotes,
Chamem palhaços e acrobatas!

Que o meu caixão vá sobre um burro
Ajaezado à andaluza...
A um morto nada se recusa,
E eu quero por força ir de burro!

by Mário de SÁ-CARNEIRO (1890-1916), in "OS ÚLTIMOS POEMAS DE MÁRIO DE SÁ-CARNEIRO", "POEMAS", Edição Círculo de Leitores, 1979
