Riddle E (translation below)

A Poem by 外人 (Gaijin)
"

Just like for any other riddle posted so far: opinions and answers are welcome :)

"
Eu mostro o lado mais original das pessoas,
nao todos tem a coragem de me enfrentar,
precisa ser forte pra abrir o proprio coraçao sem vacilar,
varias pessoas ja perderao a voz apenas olhando-me,
sou asustador, desculpem-me,
quem deseja me encarar
saiba que do olhar da plateia nao tem como escapar,
de vez em quanto me usao pra mentir, imitar a verdade
e ainda tem a ousadia de chamarla arte?!
Tambem hospedo garotos com violoes nas costas
prontos a cantar o proprio amor para suas damas.
Sou apenas um piso sobrelevado,
diga o meu nome pelo meu agrado.
Translation:
I show the most original part of people,
not everyone has the courage to face me,
it takes strength to let your heart speaks without agitating,
many people lost their voices just looking at me,
i'm scaring, i'm sorry,
who desires to face me
shall know there'd be no escape from the audience's stares,
sometimes they use me to lie, to imitate reality,
do they really dare to call it arts?!
I also host guys with a guitar in their backs,
ready to sing their love for their ladies.
I'm just a raised floor,
tell me my name, for my pleasure.

外人 (Gaijin)
Used Chaucer's rhyme scheme (ABBCCDD etc ...)
The original is in Portuguese, my mother tongue ... I was feeling i haven't written much in Portuguese lately.
The answer is ... Stage.

Nice to see you using the language you know most, Portuguese. Really glad you put a English translation. haha as for the answer to the riddle, i'm not sure. You did really good on this one, it's how I usually feel when reading riddles, i'm not so good at figuring them out. I love the way you wrote the clues in this though, very nice riddle.

I would've never guessed that answer. I would've probably said something like, "Uh... fear?" XD I'm pathetic, really.

I love it when poetry is written in a different language. Translations are beautiful but sometimes just not enough. Wish I could hear the original being read aloud.

I always enjoy your thoughts. You are a word man. Need more word men to make people read and think. Thank you for the riddle. A excellent poem.
