"Dança"
Dança
Eram a delicadeza, a graça.
Mas também a fúria
da gataria ardendo nos telhados.
São jovens e dançam - formosos
como as dunas, os trigos, os cavalos .
Eugénio de Andrade (1997)

Dance
They are lithesome, full of grace.
Ferocious, too,
like a bunch of burning rooftop cats.
They are young and they are dancing - as beautiful
as dunes, wheat, mustangs.
Eugénio de Andrade (1997) , translated by Alexis Levitin (2003)
