I appreciate the sea
Due to its power, beauty and greatness
And yesterday, when I was swimming
I saw passing at my side a shoal
Of fish whose nature and habit
They really left me to think...
Because besides they speak and they sing
They were healthy and beautiful!
Swimming happy in that single sea
Whose sun also happy lit us up.
Then, after again the ground to be able to step,
I turned myself in the sense from where the waves always come
Always in the hope of seeing them again
Or, perhaps even another shoal
That it has the habit of to pass by here.
For then, suddenly to listen
Echo of beautiful sounds brought by the wind
Emitted by beautiful birds
That freely flew and they sang
Cheering one day truly peculiar.
For soon after words to lie down
In a white sand that even it resemble
With the sugar that everyday
I put in my coffee, as well as in the tea.
And thus, to the sound of that rich nature I fall asleep,
Dreaming about the shoal that I had seen
On that magnificent morning, which I feel,
That for a long time I will remember.
