Words From The Wise

We must accept the simple fact that the science of Nature is not nature itself , but a part of the relationship between human and nature , and therefore also dependent on humans ( Heisenberg said it in 1955 ) .

Ade Ileke 43: Rio Negro

Amazon Meets the Rio Negro                      

Amor, amor;
amor corre em minha vida,
como uma tempestade,
como uma enchente;
empurrar para trás o Rio Negro!
--
Love, love;
loves runs in my life,
like a storm,
like a flood;
try and push the Rio Negro backwards!

Ade Ileke 37: Pesquisar para o Natal

Três tribos desse país ...
havia três reis ...
ouro, incenso e mirra ...
brilhante, fumaça e amargo.
Homens do orelhas longas,
do orelhas de cabaças,
do orelhas de prata ...
todos eles navegaram
o mar e o deserto
para ver o recém-nascido.

Searching for Christmas

Three tribes of those countries...
they have three kings...
gold, incense, and myrrh...
shining, smoke, and bitter.
Men of the long ears,
of the gourd-ears,
of the silver ears,
they all travelled
over sea and desert
to see the new born.

Thanksgiving

Even though this cartoon is for Christmas ( o Natal ) rather than Thanksgiving, the thoughts remain the same.

Loose translation:

Lady on Treadmill:  You really have to lose weight for Christmas.

Turkey on Treadmill:    Even if it kills me...

Everything I know about Portuguese, I learned on the Net. I think it is a totally wizard and shaman way to learn a new lingo. Next I shall attempt English.

Ade Ileke 32: Stranger in Rio

o pano do paraíso perdeu seus poderes,
os poderes para vestir-nos
com o divino,
e nós andamos cegamente na praia,
nus como turistas estúpidos
a esta terra
--
the cloth of heaven has lost its powers
the powers to clothe us
with the divine,
and we take a stroll blindly along the beach
naked like silly tourists 
to this earth.

Ade Ileke 27: Linhas na Amazônia

linhas na Amazônia...
gravuras dos deuses antigos?
Do Rio Bravo à Boca do Acra
há enchentes e ameaças de dilúvios.
os deuses voltam para casa.
 --
Lines in the Amazon lands...
etchings of the ancient gods?
From Rio Bravo to Boca do Acra
there are floods and threats of deluge.
The gods are coming home.

Ade Ileke 24: A lua é cego

O sol se desintegra,
a lua é cego
e cai...
na escuridão.

O planetário
de nossos sonhos
cai...
ao piso e rompe
-----
The sun falls apart
and the moon is blind
and falls...
in the dark.

The planetarium
of our dreams
falls...
to the floor and breaks.

Ade Ileke 19: My Pickup

Quero uma picape;
Eu dirijo minha picape
para casa da minha menina;
e eu cortar a grama ...
em seguida, um copo do café

--
I want a pickup truck;
I drive it to my girl's house
and I cut the grass...
then. afterwards, a cup of coffee.

Ade Ileke 10:: Santa Marta

              Santa Marta

símbolos encontrados
em muitos artefatos antigos
permanecem um mistério ...
Eu posso dormir não mais!
-----
symbols found in ancient arts
remain a mystery...
I can no longer sleep!
