Farmer's Funeral

Funeral do lavrador

In this grave you lieEsta cova em que estás
With measured palmsCom palmos medidos
And the smallest accounte a conta menor
That you took in life!que tiraste em vida !

And of good sizeE de bom tamanho
Neither wide nor deepnem largo nem fundo
And the part that belongs to youe a parte que te cabe
In this estate...nesse latifúndio ...

It's not a big graveNão é cova grande
It's a measured gravee a cova medida
And the land you desirede a terra que querias
Will be dividedvai ser dividida

And a big graveE uma cova grande
For your meager remainspra teu pouco defunto
But you'll feel widermas estás mais ancho
Than you were in the worldque estavas no mundo

And a big graveE uma cova grande
For your modest remainspra teu defunto parco
Yet more than in the worldporém mais que no mundo
You'll feel spaciouste sentirás largo.

And a big graveE uma cova grande
For your scarce fleshpra tua carne pouco
But the earth givenmas a terra dada
Does not open its mouthnão se abre a boca

And the part that belongs to youE a parte que te cabe
In this estatenesse latifúndio
And the land you desiredE a terra que querias
To see dividedver dividida
