Exercício 16: tradução do poema "Não Inventes" de José Carlos Barros

 Don't bullshit me


Don't bullshit me. Don't make things up.

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

And spare me the well-spoken speeches

and the farces of goodbyes. Don't make a scene.


Don´t say you're sorry or that life

sometimes is like this: that it all forgets;

that the world and time heal any wound.

I repeat, my love: get lost.


And take whatever you want from all 

we once thought we'd share:

the books, the palo santo sculptures,

the records, the portraits, the billiards.


Don't leave addresses. Please:

I just want you to fuck off, my love.
