Outra vez, E desta vez mais forte, A saudade me sacode, desarma, atropela. As lembranças aflorando. No peito, a dor sangrando. Nos olhos, o pranto silecioso a rolar E um abismo sem fim me suga, arrebata. Ai que tristeza! Saudade do que fui e do que fomos Saudade do que fiz do que fizemos Saudade dos acertos (poucos) Saudade até dos erros (demais). Incontrolável saudade: das canções, dos livros, pequenos objetos... As fotos envelhecidas A voz embargada no telefone: - estou vivo, porém, continuo comprometido E irremediavelmente perdido. A saudade, numa explosão brutal Me faz gemer de dor, Chorar de amor. Me faz gritar. Saudade do muito que se perdeu no tempo, Do pouco que ainda restou, Saudade do meu amor! Amor que um dia desprezei  |

Hello e boa vinda! Você parece escrever no português, a maioria de nós escrevem em inglês, assim que você pode querer usar um tradutor...  |

I wish people wouldn't post in a different language unless of course they have no choice, now if some kind soul would translate it  ;D |

We need Mrs B! My grasp of Portuguese isn't what it used to be, I can just about understand the sentiment of this poem, but I couldn't translate it into coherent English.

ok here it is! Sorry the possible mistakes but english is not my mother language! portuguese is!
---
I despised love
Again
And this time is stronger
The sorrow shakes me, disarms, runs over.
The memories cropping out.
In the chest, the pain is bleeding.
In the eyes, the silent weeping rolling
And a no ending abyss sucks me, snatches me
Oh such sadness!
Sorrow of what I was and what we were
Sorrow of what I did and what we did
Sorrow of rightly done things (few)
Sorrow even of the mistakes (too many).
Uncontrollably sorrow: of the songs, books, little objects…
The aged pictures
The repressed voice on the phone: - I’m alive, however, I steel uncomfortable
And irremediably lost.
The sorrow, in a brutal explosion
Makes me groan of pain,
Weep of love.
Makes me scream.
Sorrow of much witch is lost in time,
Of few that I had left
Sorrow of my love!
Love that I once despised.

beautifull Esther Paisante it really is!!

I liked it too. So simple and yet it contains real emotion. I wonder if Esther wrote it herself? Just reading it reminded me of the great Portuguese poet Camoes. I have never read Camoes, but I have heard good things about his poetry. How about you, Blackdragon, do you know Camoes?

He is almost a portuguese national mark! Here in portugal we have to study his poetry in school! He was the one who wrote "Lusiadas" he's biggest work! |

Now that is indeed a nice and emotive piece of writing, one that is beautiful and descriptive.
*paws up!*

i wish i could read it in its native language. generally poetry is written with the native tongue's meter and rhythm in mind. i wish there was some way to translate that sort of flow to another language but alas, there is not. all that aside, it is really a beautiful peice.

True, Trustkill. Something is inevitably lost during a translation. Which is a shame in this case, because Portuguese just happens to be one of the most poetic, beautiful languages in the world.

Spanish is similar to Portuguese, so I understood the poem. Is a very strange thing... because I've never studied Portuguese and I understand it. Is a very special sense, specially when you read a poem like that. Is beautiful... I have a question: Can you (portuguese speakers) understand written spanish? Sorry about my english, but I haven't found any Equilibrium forum with enough people to talk. |

Yeah that's true, I can understand portuguese and italian clearly, more italian 'coz my best friend is italian but is really easy. So, I think there's no problem in those who speak portuguese to understand spanish. Now I fully understand that! |

Any time!
