Prayer

Perhaps I'll die on the beach
Surrounded in a perfidious bath
Of all the foam on the beach
Like a shepherd faints
In the midst of his flock.
 
Perhaps I'll die on the street
And finding me suddenly
On a cold and moonless night
Among the rocks on the street
Trodden by everyone.
 
Perhaps I'll die between bars
In the middle of a prison
Because the world beyond the bars
Will forget the longing
That gnawed at my heart.
 
Perhaps I'll die in bed
Where a death is natural
Hands crossed over my chest
From God's hands I accept all
As long as I die in Portugal.
