Adrift - À deriva

The sea is an ocean's arm
and the ocean an earth's body
spacecraft without astrolabe or sextant
nor science of sails winds and currents
adrift in the infinity's tides
looking for what seaportor yacht club for an intermediate stop in the space
where everything happens as if it was nothing?

O mar é braço de oceano
e o oceano corpo da terra
nave sem astrolábio nem sextante
nem ciência de velas ventos e correntes
à deriva nas marés do infinito
à procura de que porto
ou marina de escala no espaço
onde tudo se passa como se nada fosse?

Armando, I wouldn't mind wandering without astrolabe or sextant
nor science of sails winds and currents
drifted in the infinity's tides and I wouldn't look for seaport
or yacht club for an intermediate stop in the space

Because you don't look for a stop you are an infinity traveler!
