------------------------------------------------------------- No tempo em que festejavam o dia dos meus anos, Eu era feliz e ninguém estava morto. Na casa antiga, até eu fazer anos era uma tradição de há séculos, E a alegria de todos, e a minha, estava certa com uma religião qualquer. ------------------------------------------------------------- No tempo em que festejavam o dia dos meus anos, Eu tinha a grande saúde de não perceber coisa nenhuma, De ser inteligente para entre a família, E de não ter as esperanças que os outros tinham por mim. Quando vim a ter esperanças, já não sabia ter esperanças. Quando vim a olhar para a vida, perdera o sentido da vida. ------------------------------------------------------------- Sim, o que fui de suposto a mim mesmo, O que fui de coração e parentesco, O que fui de serões de meia-província, O que fui de amarem-me e eu ser menino. O que fui — ai, meu Deus!, o que só hoje sei que fui... A que distância!... (Nem o acho...) O tempo em que festejavam o dia dos meus anos! ------------------------------------------------------------- O que eu sou hoje é como a humidade no corredor do fim da casa, Pondo grelado nas paredes... O que eu sou hoje (e a casa dos que me amaram treme através das minhas lágrimas), O que eu sou hoje é terem vendido a casa. É terem morrido todos, É estar eu sobrevivente a mim-mesmo como um fósforo frio... ------------------------------------------------------------- No tempo em que festejavam o dia dos meus anos... Que meu amor, como uma pessoa, esse tempo! Desejo físico da alma de se encontrar ali outra vez, Por uma viagem metafísica e carnal, Com uma dualidade de eu para mim... Comer o passado como pão de fome, sem tempo de manteiga nos dentes! ------------------------------------------------------------- Vejo tudo outra vez com uma nitidez que me cega para o que há aqui... A mesa posta com mais lugares, com melhores desenhos na loiça, com mais copos, O aparador com muitas coisas — doces, frutas, o resto na sombra debaixo do alçado As tias velhas, os primos diferentes, e tudo era por minha causa, No tempo em que festejavam o dia dos meus anos... ------------------------------------------------------------- Pára, meu coração! Não penses! Deixa o pensar na cabeça! Ó meu Deus, meu Deus, meu Deus! Hoje já não faço anos. Duro. Somam-se-me dias. Serei velho quando o for. Mais nada. Raiva de não ter trazido o passado roubado na algibeira!... ------------------------------------------------------------- O tempo em que festejavam o dia dos meus anos!... ------------------------------------------------------------- 15-10-1929 ------------------------------------------------------------- BIRTHDAY . ÁLVARO DE CAMPOS ------------------------------------------------------------- In the days when they celebrated my birthday, I was happy and no one was dead. In the old house, even my birthday was a centuries-old tradition, And everybody’s joy, and my own, were certain like some religion or other. ------------------------------------------------------------- In the days when they celebrated my birthday, I was healthy enough not to understand anything, To be the smart one within the family, And to not have the hopes that others had for me. When I came to have hopes, I no longer knew how to hope. When I came to look at life, I had lost all of life’s meaning. ------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, what I supposed to be myself, What I was of heart and kinship, What I was of mid-province evenings, What I was of being loved and being a little boy. What I was - ah my God! What only today I know I was ... How far away! ... (I can’t find it…) In the days when they celebrated my birthday! ------------------------------------------------------------- What I am today is like the humidity in the corridor at the end of the house, Mould sprouting on the walls ... What I am today (and the house of those who loved me trembles through my tears), What I am today is that they sold the house. And they are all dead, And it is me myself surviving like a spent match ... ------------------------------------------------------------- In the days when they celebrated my birthday My love, like a person, this time! A physical desire of the soul to meet there again, For a metaphysical and carnal journey, With a duality of myself for myself ... Wolfing down the past like bread in a famine, without time for the butter to touch the teeth! ------------------------------------------------------------- I see everything again with a sharpness that blinds me to what there is here ... The table set with more places, with finer designs on the crockery, with more glasses, The sideboard loaded with many things – sweets, fruit, the rest in shadow under the overhang –, The old aunts, the different cousins, and it was all because of me, In the days when they celebrated my birthday... ------------------------------------------------------------- Stop, my heart! Do not think! Leave thinking to the head! Oh my God, my God, my God! These days I don’t celebrate my birthday any more I go on. I count my days. I will be old when I am old. Nothing else. I’m furious with myself for not having kept the stolen past in my pocket! ... ------------------------------------------------------------- In the days when they celebrated my birthday. ------------------------------------------------------------- English translation by J.Coston & T.Leão ------------------------------------------------------------- BIRTHDAY PAIRTY . ÁLVARO DE CAMPOS ------------------------------------------------------------- Back in the day at ma birthday pairty Ah wiz happy and naebdy wiz deid.

ÁLVARO DE CAMPOS ------------------------------------------------------------- In de tijd men mijn verjaardag vierde Was ik gelukkig en neimand was dood. In het vroegere huis was mijn verjaardag zelfs een traditie van eeuwen her, En de blijdschap van allen, en de mijne, stond vast als ongeacht welke religie. ------------------------------------------------------------- In de tijd waarin men mijn verjaardag vierde Had ik de grote gezondheid van niets te begrijpen, Van intelligent te zijn in de familiekring En van niet de verwachtingen te hebben, wist ik niet die de anderen voor mij hadden. Toen ik begon verwachtingen te hebben, wist ik niet meer hoe verwachtingen te hebben, Toen ik begon naar het leven te kijken, had het de zin van het leven verloren. ------------------------------------------------------------- Ja, degen die ik was als mijn mijn veronderstelde zzelf, Degene die ik was in hart en in verwantschap, Degene die ik was op semiprovinciale familieavonden, Degene die ik was in dat men van mij hield end at ik kind was, Degene die ik was – ach ja, mijn God!, die ik pas nu besef te zijn geweest… Op welk een ajstand!... (Zelfs geen echo…) De tijd waarin men mijn verjaardag vierde! ------------------------------------------------------------- War ik nu ben is als het vocht in de gang van het acterhuis,~ Vocht dat de muren doet beschimmelen… Wat ik nu ben ( en het huis van hen die van mijn hielden trilt door miijn tranen heen), Wat ik nu ben is dat ze het huis hebben verkocht, Is dat ze allemal gestorven zijn, Is dat ik overlevende van mijzelf ben al seen uitgedoofde lucifer… ------------------------------------------------------------- In de tijd waarin men verjaardag vierde… Welke een lifde van mijn, net al seen mens, die tijd! Fysick verlagen van de ziel weer daar te zijn, Via een metafysische en vleselijke reis, Met behulp van een dualiteit tussen ik en mij… Het verleden opeten als hongerbrood, en zonder tijd voor boter op de tanden! ------------------------------------------------------------- Ik zie weer alles met een scherpte die mij blind maakt voor war mij omgeeft… De gedekte tafel met meer plaatsen, met mooiere figuren op het serviesgoed, met meer glazen, Het buffet met allerlei – gebakjes, vruchten, nog méér in de schaduw van het achtervark. De oude tantes, de diverse neven, en alles was vanwege mij, In de tijd waarin men mijn verjaardag vierde… ------------------------------------------------------------- Hou op, mijn hart! Niet denken! Laat het hoofd maar denken! O mijn God, mijn God, mijn God! Nu ben ik nooit meer jarig. Ik duur voort. Er komen dagen bij. Ik zal oud zijn wanneer ik het word. Meer niet… Woede het verleden niet te hebben gestolen en meegenomen in mijn broekzak! ------------------------------------------------------------- De tijd waarin men mijn verjaardag vierde… ------------------------------------------------------------- 15 oktober 1929 ------------------------------------------------------------- Tradução de August Willemsen
