Outra poesia de Carl Sandburg

 


SOUP

Carl Sandburg

I saw a famous man eating soup.

I say he was lifting a fat broth

Into his mouth with a spoon.

His name was in the newspapers that day

Spelled out in tall black headlines

And thousands of people were talking about him.

When I saw him,

He sat bending his head over a plate

Putting soup in his mouth with a spoon.

 

SOPA

Eu vi o homem famoso tomando sopa.

Eu vi que levava o caldo gordo

até a sua boca com uma colher.

Seu nome estava em todos os jornais do dia

estampados em grandes manchetes pretas

e milhares de pessoas comentavam sobre ele.

Quando eu o vi,

Ele estava sentado com a cabeça enfiada no prato

pondo sopa na sua boca com a colher.
