Carlos Drummond - Tristeza no céu (Sadness in the Sky)

Poem by Carlos Drummond De Andrade (Brazil)
Read by my friend Sergio Manto (Brazil) in English and Portuguese
Music by Tmac (NY)
Video by LS with Timelapse Sky Footage by ORNATbros (aka my friend Filip from Poland)


Sadness in the sky

In heaven too comes an hour of melancholy.
A difficult hour, in which doubt penetrates the souls.
Why did I create the world? Asks God himself
and replies: I don't know.

The angels look at him with disapproval,
and feathers fall.

All hypothesis: grace, eternity, love
fall, are feathers.

One more feather, heaven falls apart.
So smoothly, no roaring reveals
the moment between everything and nothing,
or be it, the sadness of God.
tr. Germain Droogenbroodt


Tristeza no céu

No céu também há uma hora melancólica.
Hora difícil, em que a dúvida penetra as almas.
Por que fiz o mundo? Deus se pergunta
e se responde: Não sei.

Os anjos olham-no com reprovação,
e plumas caem.

Todas as hipóteses: a graça, a eternidade, o amor
caem, são plumas.

Outra pluma, o céu se desfaz.
Tão manso, nenhum fragor denuncia
o momento entre tudo e nada,
ou seja, a tristeza de Deus.
