"Today is Sunday", Nâzım Hikmet

Today is Sunday.
For the first time they took me out into the sun today
And for the first time in my life I was aghast
that the sky is so far away
----------------and so blue
----------------and so vast
---------------------I stood there without motion.
Then I sat on the ground in respectful devotion
leaning against the white wall.
Who cares about the waves with wich I yearn to roll
Or about strife or freedom or my wife right now.
The soil, the sun, and me...
I feel so happy.

genial Hikmet, com as suas palavras tão brutais.
