Текст песни Остров - Зеленому богу

poetry Eugenio de Andrade
Translation from Portuguese German Plisetsky
Music Sergey Shvets

He carried a twilight charm,
it is pure spring was in the deep woods.
And his body - like a river:
Quietly washes ashore
at the hour when the water is on the wane.

He was tireless pedestrian
He was not thinking about halts.
And from his steps grew around
uncontrolled grass and out of the hands
trunks grew when he raised them.

He smiled a strange, like a dancer.
Trembling body and the leaves lose.
It was shaking from head to toe
in the eternal dance that invented God,
and the body of these rhythms are repeated.

He walked past us on his way
as the god who always goes by.
Alien pictures and words of the earth,
a flute song is heard in the distance,
... always open, and always vulnerable.

Eugenio de Andrade, translated from Portuguese - German Plisetsky
