A Rosa de Hiroshima [English translation]

They think on the children

The mute telepathic women1

They think on the girls

The inexact blind women

They think on the women

Modified routes

They think on the injuries

Like warm roses

But, oh, don't forget

Of the rose of the rose

Of the rose of Hiroshima

The hereditary rose

The radioactive rose

Stupid and invalid

The rose with cirrhosis

The atomic anti-rose

Without color without perfume

Without rose, without anything

1. The women thinking are probably the roses brought up later on in the song and the original poem . . .
