A Noite - English translation:
“In the dimming light that hides in the horizon,
the body ceases to exist,
I gather the honey, hide away the joy and
whisper to you: turn off the stars,
Come lay with me in the splendor of the night
of the world that is fleeing from us.

I, sailboat without dawns, no promises nor richness
just a void with no dimension in its pocket
For only the one who possesses nothing
and has shared everything , can corrupt * the night
of other innocent bodies without getting hurt
in the brief splendor of love”.

Taken from: Al Berto "Na Casa Fernando Pessoa" (1997)

(*) “corrupt” is not the right word, in portuguese "devassar" has a more physical sense than a negative one.
