Luísa

Luísa

She carries flowers from Huambo on her shirt
Kilapanga1 in her hand, she doesn't improvise
Synchronises her chest to the beat
No makas2, she dances alone
Where there are choices she gets indecisive
Makes sense with the history she treads
She needs no chorus, no warning
When she wins, she dances alone
 
She has the name of a song
Luísa
Voice of when she flies, of thought when she lands on the ground
That voice you use to invent
 
Don't you dare to change
What is restless in you
What in you is weak and is beautiful because it is mended
And what is mended is born
Again and never ends
Our history is like this
Fly, and I'll fly
 
Did I tell you she dances alone?
Friend of the plants and the kitchen
She doesn't flinch, she doesn't hold back on humour
No makas2 but she doesn't like a fight
Inventor of haikus3and theories
She collects jars of sea breeze
Sows one question a day
Reaps half an empty answer
 
She has the name of a song
Luísa
Voice of when she flies, of thought when she lands on the ground
That voice you use to invent
 
Don't you dare to change
What is restless in you
What in you is weak and is beautiful because it is mended
And what is mended is born
Again and never ends
Our history is like this
 
Don't you dare to change
What is restless in you
What in you is weak and is beautiful because it is mended
And what is mended is born
Again and never ends
Our history is like this
Fly, and I'll fly
Fly, and I'll fly, Luísa
 
Because when you fly, Luísa
My abyss softens
And when you write, Luísa
My body heals
When you speak, Luisa
My secret becomes banal
It's your word
What this world needs
 
  • 1. Noisy and joyful party.
  • 2. a. b. No problems.
  • 3. Japanese way of poetry.
