CHRISTMAS TREE

Linda arvore de Natal       
Ainda ontem adornada (enfeitada?)
Hoje, as outras igual
No passeio desprezada.

Beautiful Christmas Tree
Still yesterday adorned
Today, like the others
Abandoned at the sidewalk

Com excitamento encontrada
No centro da casa erguida
De luzes iluminda
Como estava tao garrida.

Found with excitement
Placed in the middle of the house
The lights lit
It was so festive.

Cheia de forma e de cor
Com sinos e bolas de encantar
Recordacoes, anjos de amor
Lembrancas, um nunca mais acabar

Full of shape and of color
With bells and balls enchanted
Souvenirs, love angels
Memories, there is no end to it

Para o ano outra vira
Todos dirao, ainda e melhor
Assim e a vida a passar
A Esperenca e sempre maior

Next year, another one will come
Everybody will say, this is even better
So is the passing life
Hope is always bigger.

Maria C. Ruben

(Year??)
