Peace, Poet, and Pigeons

Paz, Poeta E Pombas

Peace traveled in search of silenceA Paz viajou em busca da silêncio
Besieged BerlinSitiou Berlim
Abdicated in LondonAbdicou em Londres
Peace jumped out of the poet's eyesA Paz saltou dos olhos do poeta
Struck by manic-depressive psychosisAtacada de psicose maniaco-depressiva
It was then that the pigeonsFoi nessa altura que as pombas
Requested the rates at the agenciesSolicitaram nas agências as tarifas
But they no longer saw the poetMas nao viram mais o poeta
Who was enjoying in SwitzerlandQue gozava na Suiça
A gracious leaveDuma licença graciosa
Peace jumped out into the streetA Paz saiu aos saltos para a rua
Ate mustardComeu mostarda
Drank sangriaBebeu sangria
Peace sat on top of a craneA Paz sentou-se em cima duma grua
Struck by astheniaAtacada de astenia
It was then that the pigeonsFoi nessa altura que as pombas
Requested the rates at the agenciesSolicitaram nas agências as tarifas
But they no longer saw the poetMas nao viram mais o poeta
Who was enjoying in SwitzerlandQue gozava na Suiça
A gracious leaveDuma licença graciosa
