Tao - Rodrigo Amarante перевод на английский

Tao

O Tao que ouvi dizer
Não é o eterno Tao
O nome que se lê
Não é o eterno ser, mas
Uma fome vem, um calor me dá
Quando o nome eu sei, já não posso me calar
No arco do olho entre os cílios do sol, pavão
Na curva do rio que é turvo do céu pagão
Na linha dos ombros as sombras
Dobras da mão nos vãos
Se foi tudo amor, é amor
Um nome tão
Source of a thousand things
The Tao is an empty cup
Poured and never filled
Hidden deep and yet above
Before the gods could dance
And now before my eyes
The Tao must be a glance
Of the sweetness in her smile
In the arch of the eye
In the face of the storm above
In the curve of a ridge where a bridge once was born
And burned in the line of her lips, her hips
Her hands made of clay, her play
If all was once love
Then love is the name

Tao

The Tao which I have heard spoken
Is not the eternal Tao
The name that can be named
Is not the eternal name, which is but
A hunger that comes, a heat that throws
When I know the name, my tongue already parted
In the arch of the eye in the lashes of the sun, peacock
In the curve of the river that is cloudy of the pagan sky
In the line of the shoulders the shadows
Folds of the hand in the gaps
If it was all love, it is love
A name so
Source of a thousand things
The Tao is an empty cup
Poured and never filled
Hidden deep and yet above
Before the gods could dance
And now before my eyes
The Tao must be a glance
Of the sweetness in your smile
In the arch of the eye
In the face of the storm above
In the curve of a ridge where a bridge once was born
And burned in the line of your lips, your hips
Your hands made of clay, your play
If all was once love
Then love is the name
