English Translation

O poeta é um fingidor

The poet is a pretender

Finge tão completamente

Pretends so completely

Que chega a fingir que é dor

That he even pretends it's pain

A dor que deveras sente

The pain he truly feels


E os que leem o que escreve

And those who read what he writes

Na dor lida sentem bem

In the pain they read, they feel well

Não as suas que ele teve

Not their own that he had

Mas só a que eles não têm

But only the one they don't possess


E assim nas calhas de roda

And thus on the rails of reason

Gira, a entreter a razão

It spins, entertaining the mind

Esse comboio de corda

This train on a string

Que se chama coração

That is called the heart
