The Navigators by Sophia de Mello Breyner

Portugese:
Os navegadores
O múltiplo nos enebria
O espanto nos guia
Com audácia desejo e calculado engenho
Forçámos os limites –
Porém o Deus uno
De desvios nos protege
Por isso ao longo das escadas
Cobrimos de oiro o interior sombrio das igrejas
|
English:
The navigators
Multiplicity makes us drunk
Astonishment leads us on
With daring and desire and calculated skill
We’ve broken the limits –
But the one God
Keeps us from straying
Which is why at each port we cover with gold
The sombre insides of our churches
