Silêncios

It was within the silences that I understood better those meaningless words and they reverberated, screamed and choked on me for a long time (both before and after) those meetings.

Um quarto secreto

All she knew was to wear on others’ people shoes and feel their pain. But it was difficult to find her own, those shoes that could take it along any path or trail, without getting worn out underneath (or inside)
Todo lo que sabía hacer era ponerse los zapatos ajenos y sentir los callos. Pero era difícil encontrar el suyo, los que podían llevar por cualquier camino o sendero, sin desgastarse pir debajo (ni por dentro)

Tous les jours

The rice and beans were already ready and laid out on the table. She had just grilled the meat, like every day, but it was not always so easy to swallow despair disguised as hope or wear a smile instead of bursting into tears.

El arroz y los frijoles ya estaban listos y puestos sobre la mesa, ella acababa de asar la carne, como todos los días, pero no siempre era tan fácil tragar la desesperación disfrazada de esperanza o llevar una sonrisa en lugar de llorar.

Salva-vidas

She could predict the future in the midst of that whirlwind because she already felt ready, prepared and safe to dive, let herself fall and be out of breath.
Podía predecir el futuro en medio de ese torbellino porque ya se sentía lista, preparada y segura para bucear, dejarse caer y quedarse sin aliento.

2020

She felt that she was not going to be unharmed by the year 2020. That’s why she tried to hold on to memories: the old ones, already stored in albums, and the new ones that were kept inside a bottle of wine.
Sentía que no iba a salir ilesa por el año 2020. Y por eso trató de aferrarse a los recuerdos: los viejos, ya guardados en álbumes, y los nuevos que se guardaban dentro de una botella de vino.

Pote aberto

El efecto de la linterna se ha disipado, pero no se ha apagado.Las luciérnagas pasaron toda la noche brillando en diferentes partes de la habitación y su efecto aún brilla en sus sueños.

The effect of the fireflies has been dissipated, but not turned off.
They spent the whole night sparkling in different parts of the room and their effect still shines in her dreams.

Não queria voar

The pain is like this: it remains dormant for some time. And suddenly, nothing more than a small memory, a detail, anything at all; it enters like a hurricane, without asking permission and devours all the band aid. And that was when she most needed to hide.
El dolor tiene de esas cosas: permanece latente durante algún tiempo. Y de repente, nada más que un pequeño recuerdo, un detalle, cualquier cosa; entra como un huracán, sin pedir permiso y devora todo el curativo. Y es entonces cuando más necesitaba esconderse.

Através das Cores

She could see through all the nuances, because the only thing that remains and really matters is the essence.
Ella conseguía ver a través de todos los matices, porque lo único que queda y realmente importa es la esencia.

Caminho Certo

Tuvo que sucumbir al Lago, sumergirse por completo para redimirse (no entendía qué era eso), y allí mientras buceaba mantenía una conexión inexacta con la exactitud de sus errores y con esa sensación se secaba el alma con renovada esperanza.
She had to succumb to the Lake, submerge completely to redeem herself (she didn’t understand what that was), and while she dived she maintained an inexact connection with the correctness of her mistakes, with this sensation, she dried her soul with renewed hope.

Urgente

¡Urgente! Una cabeza pensante necesita un buen libro o película para entrar en catarsis y provocar estado mental letárgico y descanso espiritual.

Urgent!
A thinking head needs a good book or film to enter catharsis and provoke a lethargic mental state and spiritual rest.

Cálculo de variáveis

It was not a moral issue – it didn’t not even cross her mind – but a form of mutant active balance whose adaptation and readjustment were essential to the formation of her point of view.
No se trataba de una cuestión moral, ni siquiera se le pasó por la cabeza, sino de una forma de equilibrio activo mutante cuya adaptación y reajuste fueron fundamentales para la formación de su punto de vista.

Coquetel

They were not coca cola thoughts, nor cocktail feelings. But there was no doubt that they helped to digest everything better.

No eran pensamientos de coca cola, ni sentimientos de cóctel.
Pero no cabía duda de que ayudaban a digerir todo mejor.
