Londres (translation below)

Hope you like it, this one means a lot to me :)

Encontro-me no crepuscolo

Dos meus sofrimentos

A contemplar com gratidao

O infinito das vitorias.

Assisto ao amanhecer

Dos meus sonhos que

Em energicos raios

Realizo por contacto.

E as estrelas brilham

Como um cosmico memento

Das linhas de chegada

Que pretendo cortar.

TRANSLATION

Title: London

I find myself at the twilight

Of my suffering

Beholding with thankfulness

The infinite of the victories.

I witness the dawn

Of my dreams that

In energetic rays

I achieve by contact.

And the stars shine

As a cosmic reminder

Of the finish lines

That I aim to cut.

Author's Note

Originally written in Portuguese. I confess I feel a little shaky on this translation, it was not easy !
I wrote this poem after living a month in London, it represented how I felt towards this city at that time ... It keeps perfectly representing my sentiments towards it now, months later.
