Um Real pelo teu pensamento (translation below)

Just a poem I came up with in my mother tongue, Portuguese :)

Um Real pelo teu pensamento,

o que pensas neste momento?

Se o pudesse ler e gravar

em letras, um lindo livro iria publicar,

em notas, seria uma cançao agridoçe p'ra cada coraçao.

Quem sabe o que guardas? Razao ou pura emoçao?

A quem dedicas o teu pensamento, mais lindo de mil sonetos?

Certamente nao a mim, embora tao ardentemente o desejo,

nao posso gabar-me de tal grande honra.

Quanto seria feliz se assim fosse, ate so por uma hora,

pos no meu pensamento a sua imagem ja fez moradia,

es o motivo de cada meu sorriso, te penso cada dia.

Quanto egoismo em querer saber o que pensas,

ha talvez algo de mais intimo e reservado do que pensamos?

Entao, que tal, um Real pelo teu angelico sorriso?

TRANSLATION

Title: One Real* for your thoughts

One Real* for your thoughts,

what are you thinking about?

If I could read it and record

in letters, I'd publish a wonderful book,

in notes, it'd be a bittersweet song for every heart.

Who knows what you hide? Reason or pure emotion?

Who do you dedicate your thoughts to, more beautiful than a thousand sonnets?

Definitely not to me, even though I want it so badly,

I can't boast such huge honor.

How happy I'd be if it were this way, even just for a hour,

in my mind your image is already living,

you're the reason of all my smiles, I think of you everyday.

So selfish on willing to know what you think,

Is there anything more private and confidential than what we think?

So, what about, one Real* for your angelic smile?

Real = It's the Brazilian money, for our fellow americans, one Real stands for 0,4965 dollars :)

Ah thank you for your definition of Real after the poem. There is something I do believe I didn't know. Interesting. As for the title, I have heard "a penny for your thoughts". I love the first stanza that starts off this poem. I like the questions in stanza two as well as this part here:
"Who do you dedicate your thoughts to, more beautiful than a thousand sonnets?"
Such a sweet write... enjoyed this very much. :)

Thanks for sharing! I highly reccomend you post a video somewhere of you reading one of your poems in the original language. It'd be marvelous to hear it.

thx ,,, but I'm too shy xD Plus I hate my voice xD

[eglantine]

:O don't be ridiculous lol poetry, in my opinion, was meant to be read aloud. the way words sound against each other is so very important

[Michael Perez]
