Valsinha [English translation]

That day he returned home

more soon as he had almost done not anymore

he looked at her in a very different way

as he had almost used not anymore.

And he did not talk about the salary increase anymore,

that was the only argument of his speeches.

With a strange tenderness and a little

bitterness he said: "'Let's go out, shall you?".

And then she made herself as beautiful as the

day she fell in love with him.

She searched that blouse which he gave her,

in the bottom of a drawer.

And he held her by the hand like the

he kept long time ago. As a

boy and girl , they went down to the

square and they began to dance.

And at the sound of their dance, the

sleeping neighborhood appeared, and

people went down into the dark square, and a lot

of persons swore that it brightened. And

there were stolen kisses and suffocated shouts,

that no one choked. That the world

made his own, then the dawn came in peace...
