#no one asked but here’s my favourite poem in my native language (portuguese) + its translation in english. <33333 #a fun(-ish) fact abt this is that i have a love/hate relationship with Álvaro de Campos' poetry (mostly hate #actually) but this one truly gets me everytime and i really wanted to share it bc i love it so much!!!!!!!! #tbh i dont think that the translation truly grasps the feelings evoked on the original but i guess our native language always hits harder? #alsooo..what if you guys shared your fav poems in your native languages as well that'd be kind of #the best thing to happen to me ever if you'd let me read them
