Exercício 16 - Tradução do poema "Não Inventes"

Don’t make things up

Don´t bullshit me. Don´t make things up.

Don’t look me in the eyes. Just leave.

And spare me your eloquent speeches

and the fakes goodbyes. Don’t make a scene.

 

Don´t say that you are sorry or that life

sometimes is like this: that everything is forgotten;

that the world and time heal any wound.

I say it again, my love: disappear.

 

And take as much as you want of all

we one day thought we’d share:

the books, the palo santo sculptures,

the records, the portraits, the pool table.

 

Don’t leave an address. Please:

I want you to fuck yourself, my love.

Matilde Cabana
