Poem
Ruy Cinatti
Huato-Carbau (1947)
An old man, a youth,separated by chance.
Out there the breeze,
the sharpened cold.
In the light of the lamp they talked
the whole night through.
The old man, youthful.
The young man, sad.

Huato-Carbau (1947)
Um velho, um jovem,separados pelo acaso.
Lá fora a brisa,
o frio fino.
À luz do candeeiro conversavam
a noite inteira.
O velho, jovem.
O jovem, triste.
