Rose of Hiroshima

Rosa de Hiroshima

Think of the mute, telepathic childrenPensem nas crianças mudas, telepáticas
Think of the blind, inaccurate girlsPensem nas meninas cegas, inexatas
Think of the women, altered routesPensem nas mulheres, rotas alteradas
Think of the wounds like warm rosesPensem nas feridas como rosas cálidas

But, oh, don't forget the rose, the roseMas, ó, não se esqueçam da rosa, da rosa
The rose of Hiroshima, the hereditary roseDa rosa de Hiroshima, a rosa hereditária
The radioactive rose, stupid and invalidA rosa radioativa, estúpida e inválida
The rose with cirrhosis, the atomic anti-roseA rosa com cirrose, a anti-rosa atômica
Colorless, scentless, without rose, without anythingSem cor, sem perfume, sem rosa, sem nada
