time that can be TIME if we allow it to
O Sábado ...
foi
levantar mais tarde,
ir às compras,
almoçar.
Por a leitura das notícias e "cusquices em dia,
tratar de coisas de casa que não poderam ser tratadas durante a semana,
deixar o tempo passar
preguiçosamente
até que
são horas
de ser
Domingo.

Saturday
... was
getting up later,
going shopping,
lunch time.
Reading the news and some social gossip,
doing some chores around the house that couldn't be done during the week
letting time go by
lazily
till
it's time
to be
Sunday.
Lady, so sad are my eyes
