A love poem originally written in Portuguese, and later translated into English.
Vocé é…
You are…

A Deusa do meu céu,
The Goddess of my Heaven,
Uma viva salvação.
A living salvation.
A Diaba do meu inferno,
The She-Devil of my Hell,
A encarnação da tentação.
The embodiment of temptation.

Tua beleza é a arma
Your beauty is the weapon
Almodada p’ra me assassinar,
Fashioned to assassinate me,
Porque quando eu te vejo
Because every time I see you
É suficiente p’ra me matar.
It is enough to kill me.

Tua existência é o caçador
Your existence is the hunter
Que me quer perseguir.
That wants to stalk me.
Tua aparência é a isca
Your appearance is the bait
P’ra minha morte me atrair.
To my demise, it attracts me.

Teu olhar é a rede
Your gaze is the net
De que não consigo escapar.
From which I cannot escape.
Teu rosto é a cacete
Your face is the club
Que me pode incapacitar.
To me, it incapacitates.

Mas teu sorriso é a espada,
But your smile is the sword,
O último retoque teu,
Your final finishing touch,
Que penetra no meu coração
That penetrates my heart
E apaga o fôlego meu.
And takes my breath away.
