Translation
Sparring partner
A macaque (fig: monkey) without history,
She says about him,
As he lacks memory
At the bottom of his dark gloves
But his gaze is a veranda (fig: store front, facade)
Give it time and you will see him,
Entering the jungle
No, don't ever meet him
Did you look inside the game
Is this all? -- well, you know
I'm an old sparring partner
And I never saw
A calm more tiger-like
More secret than this,
Take the first bus, go,
Everything else is already poetry
He might be more than 40,
And that applause
Is due to him for love,
No, don't ever meet him
He was there in his smile
Looking at the trams go by
Old elephant track
Spread over the tarmac
