About This Item

Visita ao Convento de Cristo

O Mostrengo

O mostrengo que está no fim do mar
Na noite de breu ergueu-se a voar;
À roda da nau voou três vezes,
Voou três vezes a chiar,
E disse: «Quem é que ousou entrar
Nas minhas cavernas que não desvendo,
Meus tectos negros do fim do mundo?»
E o homem do leme disse, tremendo:
«El-rei D. João Segundo!»

«De quem são as velas onde me roço?
De quem as quilhas que vejo e ouço?»
Disse o mostrengo, e rodou três vezes,
três vezes rodou imundo e grosso.
«Quem vem poder o que só eu posso,
Que moro onde nunca ninguém me visse
E escorro os medos do mar sem fundo?»
E o homem do leme tremeu, e disse:
«El-rei D. João Segundo!»

Três vezes do leme as mãos ergueu,
Três vezes ao leme as reprendeu,
E disse no fim de tremer três vezes:
«Aqui ao leme sou mais do que eu:
Sou um povo que quere o mar que é teu;
E mais que o mostrengo, que me a alma teme
E roda nas trevas do fim do mundo,
Manda a vontade, que me ata ao leme,
D' El-rei D. João Segundo!»

The Monster

The monster that dwells at the end of the sea
In the pitch dark night rose up in the air;
Rounding the ship he flew three times,
Three times he flew a-squeaking,
And said: "Who dares to enter
My dens which I do not disclose,
My black roofs of the end of the world?"
And the helmsman said, a-trembling:
"King John the Second!"

"Whose are the sails over which I skim?
Whose are the keels I see and hear?"
Said the monster, and circled three times,
Three times he circled aloud and filthy.
"Who comes to do what only I can,
I who dwell where none has ever seen me
And pour forth the fears of the bottomless sea?"
And the helmsman trembled, and said:
"King John the Second!"

Three times from the helm he raised his hands,
Three times on the helm he laid them back,
And said, after trembling three times:
"Here at the helm I am more than myself:
I am a people who wants the sea that is yours;
And more than the monster, that my soul does fear
And dwells in the dark of the end of the world,
Commands the will, that binds me to the helm,
Of King John the Second!"
 


Fernando Pessoa, Mensagem
