my wife, Maria da Nazaré, in the Hotel Convent of Alpendurada (River Douro)
**********************************************************************************
Sometimes
the lightness of your being
leads me to tie your feet
on the ground
where we love each other.

///

Parfois
la légèreté de ton être
amene moi à amarrer tes pieds
au sol
où nous nous aimons.

///

Às vezes
a leveza do teu ser
leva-me a amarrar-te os pés
ao solo
onde nos amamos.
