Pré-Sal [English translation]

St. George's swords that are always guarding and watching over

Majestic yams and black shining stems

The strongbox contained ingot bars

My grandma's hands were wet with glycerin

Be ready for the sorting

Popcorn popped from the pedals of the tricycle

A detective solved a heinous crime

There was a smashed lobster behind the white folding screen

Parakeets that were addicted to weed seeds

Father Faria's birds

If the Mysoline world prevented from having convulsions

Epelin lies on the table, by two striped Pablo Forlan1's side

The statue in Jardim Guedala2 is the grave of the dwarf

The Guaraná that keeps the secret of the distraction

Lies on the boring hexagonal tiles

Take off the ground from the margins of the Lazaro beach

The volley evenings were delimited by tapes

The 100 year old Peres walked alone

Pink colored lips fighting conches

Well bathed by the foam from the sand

Getting on an alligator of the cedar and stare at Fortaleza3

The island in the sea disappeared with the certainties

Like golden acid, the stone lies on the Sun with me

On the net, caught starfish in the Sky

Dalva de Oliveira4 rises

Monsieur perdonci dercic in Nice, my mother I told you about

Mah-Jong5, Totopoly6, the beautiful hand-painted dishware

In Rancharia7, Orísia teaches the saci8 to keep his feet on the ground

A naval net, my father was a civilian, Ataliba9 without poli

However he was a general

Zagat shoes with shoelaces are used without socks

Pointy agaves stick Neiva's yellowish arms

Light-blue sandals, mermaids

Elephants have two ivories

Of such a mammalian beauty

Mamonas Assassinas with their polemic nipples10

And Lucia solves the totemic11 enunciation

Our Earth, petroleum from scratch, was made

The neurological episode, the audiological episode

The perfect terraforming12

I finally came to the end, every ending is a total exhaustion

Detail by detail, because I'm a big fan of Tintin13

I know I disappeared in Betim14 because I didn't visit my sister

My faith doesn't mean

That I believe in Christ

I live with what I can

I go back and go on

Do I go on?
