Não tenho medo, sabes

Não tenho medo, sabes

cânone de Pedro Rodrigues

texto: excerto da fala da Julieta de «Antes que a noite venha» de Eduarda Dionísio

 

Não tenho medo, sabes.

Não tenho medo, sabes.

Não afastes a noite de mim quando me olhares.

Hoje sou dona de mim

e daqueles em quem eu tocar.

Não quero perder a memória de nenhum gesto.

Tens tu de me ajudar.

tradução inglesa:

UNADIKUM (I CALL ON YOU )

I call on you
I clasp your hands
I kiss the ground under your feet
And I say: I offer my life for yours
I give you the light of my eyes
as a present
and the warmth of my heart
The tragedy I live
is that I share your tragedies
I call on you
I clasp your hands
I was not humiliated in my homeland
Nor was I diminished
I stood up to my oppressors
orphaned, nude, and barefoot
I carried my blood in my palm
I never lowered my flags
I guarded the green grass
over my ancestor’s graves
I call on you
I clasp your hands
