Poem

Ana Paula Inácio

i’d like you to go with me

i’d like you to go with me
through life
like a sail
that would discover for me the world
but i’m on the uncertain side
where the wind pounds
and i can only teach you
the names of trees
whose fruit will be plucked in another season
where the trains scatter
anguished whistles

i’d like you to go with me

queria que me acompanhasses
vida fora
como uma vela
que me descobrisse o mundo
mas situo-me no lado incerto
onde bate o vento
e só te posso ensinar
nomes de árvores
cujo fruto se colhe numa próxima estação
por onde as comboios estendem
silvos aflitos
Close

i’d like you to go with me

i’d like you to go with me
through life
like a sail
that would discover for me the world
but i’m on the uncertain side
where the wind pounds
and i can only teach you
the names of trees
whose fruit will be plucked in another season
where the trains scatter
anguished whistles

i’d like you to go with me

i’d like you to go with me
through life
like a sail
that would discover for me the world
but i’m on the uncertain side
where the wind pounds
and i can only teach you
the names of trees
whose fruit will be plucked in another season
where the trains scatter
anguished whistles
