Khara House - Our Lost Jungle - New Challenge

Today, track down a poem in a foreign language—try to pick one that you don't know and have never studied—and translate it based on what you “see” in the foreign words and sounds.

Viajantes,  by Conceição Lima

Traziam poentes e estradas

Traces of potent promises                            
A sede do horizonte os chamava.             
Seeds of champing possibility

- A quem pertences tu?               

You pretend it doesn’t matter?                
Quem são os da tua casa?                           
You say now it’s too late?

Assim estendia nossa avó

I extend my hand, my heart
A caneca de água ao viajante.
Meet me halfway, take a chance.

and a second:

             Violence

Tries... I am pointing at efforts
I seize the horizon of chance

requiem of pretenses?
funeral song of the two sides?

Ask him if tender nostrum aid
arcane echoes of argue and violence.
