Amélia Muge: Nevoeiro
Fernando Pessoa set to music by Amélia Muge.
"FOG"
Neither king nor law, neither peace nor war,
Defines with profile and being
This opaque glow of the earth
That is Portugal in its sadness —
A glow without light and without ardor
Like that which encloses a will-o'-the-wisp.
No one knows what they want.
No one knows what soul they have,
Nor what is evil nor what is good.
(What distant desire cries nearby?)
Everything is uncertain and definitive.
Everything is scattered, nothing is whole.
Oh Portugal, today you are fog...
It is time!
Valete, Fratres
