Singing Toad (1)
Night toad, songbird
What lives dreaming next to the lagoon
Tenor of puddles, grotesque finder
You are bewitched with love by the moon.
–
I know your life without glory
I know the tragedies of your worried soul
And this madness of love to the moon
It is the eternal madness of any poet.
–
Singing toad
sing your song
Cause life is sad
If we don’t live it with hope.
–
You know yourself ugly, ugly and counterfeit;
But by day, you hide your ugliness
And at night you sing your melancholy
And your song echoes like a litany
–
Your voices drummed in frank obstinacy
Your verses are as vain as they are beautiful
By chance, don’t you know that the moon is cold
because she gave her blood to the star?
–
Singing toad
sing your song
Cause life is sad
If we don’t live it with hope.
