  What sort of sound or understanding do you get from this piece? Please respond accordingly to your first sentiments upon reading the following (a slash means a paragraph). thx.

  O teu silêncio é uma nau com todas as velas pandas.../
  Brandas, as brisas brincam nas flâmulas, teu sorriso.../
  E o teu sorriso no teu silêncio é as escadas e as andas/
  Com que me finjo mais alto e ao pé de qualquer paraíso...//

  Gentle, the breezes joke in the pennants, yours smile.
  And yours it smile in the your silence is the stairs and the floors.
  With that I pretend more high and to the foot of any heaven.

  • Indeed. That's why I did it.– Witt

  google says this:

  Your silence is a ship with all the candles pandas ... /
  Brandas, playing in the windscreen banners, your smile ... /
  And your smile in your silence is the stairs and andas /
  With that I finjo highest and the foot of any paradise ...//
