Mário de Andrade Poems

" I counted my years and discovered that I have
less time to live going forward than I have lived until now.
...

At least, we are no longer friends.

You walk easily, lightly,
...

Where is the living love,
Where is it?
...

The wind cuts everything in two.
Only a wish for neatness binds the world…
...

The sweetness of poverty like this…
To lose everything your, even the egoism of being,
So poor that you can only belong to the crowd…
...

Dead, the rests sweetly among the flowers in his coffin.

There are such moments when we living
...

Nights heavy with suffocating smells, heat . . .
The Sun made its way across the enormous stretch of our country
And gave each Brazilian a dark complexion.
...

That man who walks all alone
Along those squares, those streets,
Ha in himself an enormous secret.
...

A little before noon
I felt she was coming. I waited.
...

Somewhere near, a rose-tree must be blooming,
I don´t know… I feel in myself a harmony,
Some of the disinterest that fatigue brings.
...
