Very experimental... My portugese is a bit weak, I am better with spanish, but the poem is set in Brazil!
For some reason can't fix format, blahh.
Not satisfied with edit yet, will return to later.

Saudade
Bones now crushed
into smooth pebbles
progression of nature
her flow of tears
en el rio juruena
The forest always cries
but we must burn her
ancient trees into capital
o que os olhos não vêem
Vibrant flora
flaming birds
become bloodstains
cardinal sins
por favor
me perdoe
She found a crystal
with golden veins
for dreaming
I dream too
sonho impossível
Fate reflected in constellations
follow the stars
I am the river
the flood
and she the fish
destined to lie
forever
e nunca

Saudade
deep regret
Bones now crushed
into smooth pebbles
progression of nature
her flow of tears
en el rio juruena
in the river juruena
eu te amo I love you
estoy perido I am lost
The forest always cries
but we must burn her
ancient trees into capital
o que os olhos não vêem
What the eyes do not see
o coração não sentethe heart does not feel
Vibrant flora
flaming birds
become bloodstains
cardinal sins
por favor
me perdoe
forgive me, please
She found a crystal
with golden veins
for dreaming
I dream too
sonho impossível
impossible dream
castelo no ar castle in the air
Fate reflected in constellations
follow the stars
I am the river
the flood
and she the fish
destined to lie
forever
e nunca
and ever
en el rio juruena in the river juruena
