Fernando Pessoa
Fernando Pessoa foi um poeta, escritor, crítico literário, tradutor e filósofo português, considerado um dos maiores expoentes da literatura em língua portuguesa e um dos mais relevantes poetas do século XX. A sua vasta obra, marcada pela criação de múltiplos heterónimos com personalidades e estilos distintos, explora temas como a identidade, a angústia existencial, a saudade e a busca por significado num mundo em constante transformação. Pessoa deixou um legado literário complexo e multifacetado, que continua a fascinar e a desafiar leitores e críticos.

Mother, my cheeks are wet.
Mother, my cheeks are wet.
Let down my hair and kiss
My brow. I seem to forget
Even if I think of this.
Lullaby to me, mother,
Lullaby to me.
I loved and was not loved, mother.
Kiss me and let me be.
Let me sleep as of old, thy hand
On my brow, so calm and so deep,
That I feel't on my soul, my soul fanned
By thy breath on the face of my sleep.
I am but a little ship, mother,
Lost out in the sea.
Lullaby to me, mother,
Lullaby to me.
Let down my hair and kiss
My brow. I seem to forget
Even if I think of this.
Lullaby to me, mother,
Lullaby to me.
I loved and was not loved, mother.
Kiss me and let me be.
Let me sleep as of old, thy hand
On my brow, so calm and so deep,
That I feel't on my soul, my soul fanned
By thy breath on the face of my sleep.
I am but a little ship, mother,
Lost out in the sea.
Lullaby to me, mother,
Lullaby to me.
