Poem
Eugénio de Andrade
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.

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.
