E cercarom-mi as ondas, que grandes som!
Nom hei [eu i] barqueiro nem remador
–
Galician-Portuguese medieval lyric
“Sedia-m’eu na ermida de San Simión”
Meendinho (13th-14th c.)
Buscaba un mentor de poesía
Revolvendo entre mails vellos
O filtro devolveu doces
Palabras de amor
Que soterradas por anos
Colleran fío aceirado
Craváranseme nos ollos
Anegáraseme o teclado
Nom hei conselheiro
Nem assesor
Cercaron-mi as ondas
Que grandes som!
Lyrical Advisor
I was looking for a poetry mentor
Rummaging through old emails
the filter returned sweet words of love
That buried for years
they become sharp as steel
stuck in my eyes
drowned my keyboard
I have not a counselor
nor an advisor
The waves surrounded me
how big they are!
