Hidden tears (A poem by Florbela Espanca)

Hidden tears

If I put myself to brood of another ages
Where I laughed and singed, where I was loved,
It feels like it was in other spheres,
It feels like it was in another life...

And my sad painfull mouth
That had the laughter of Springs,
Narrows the graves and severes lines
And fall into an abandon of forgotten!

And I remain, pensive, looking the vague...
Takes the placid mildness of a lake
My face of nun of ivory...

And the tears I cry, white and calm,
Nobody sees it sprout inside the soul!
Nobody sees it falling inside me!

Lágrimas ocultas

Se me ponho a cismar em outras eras
Em que ri e cantei, em que era q'rida,
Parece-me que foi noutras esferas,
Parece-me que foi numa outra vida...

E a minha triste boca dolorida
Que dantes tinha o rir das Primaveras,
Esbate as linhas graves e severas
E cai num abandono de esquecida!

E fico, pensativa, olhando o vago...
Toma a brandura plácida dum lago
O meu rosto de monja de marfim...

E as lágrimas que choro, branca e calma,
Ninguém as vê brotar dentro da alma!
Ninguém as vê cair dentro de mim!
