Volver a los Diecisiete | Mercedes Sosa com Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa, Chico Buarque e Milton Nascimento

Pleroma (Tradução para o português)

Nossos telescópios não revelaram nenhum empíreo.

Olhos curiosos vagaram pelas mortas profundezas interestelares, habitando a tênue luz de estrelas distantes, deslizando como rajadas frias de vento, assobiando entre os juncos eriçados dos nossos catecismos.

Esculpimos novos apóstolos em bétula e moldamos deuses de mármore— deidades falecidas, emblemas de rigidez superficial brilham em nossos santuários, suas imagens pesadamente ornamentando nossos mandalas de mogno moldado.

Inalamos a cadência do renascimento rústico através de um tubo amarrado a um disco dourado, suspenso sob um dossel de nuvens estratos ametistas.

Os ventos do oeste derramam o soro enquanto, relutantes, saímos trôpegos de nossa degradação ritualística.

Nossa imagem ondula através de os cânions celestiais pairando sobre nós, enquanto a eternidade engole os sótãos estratosféricos.

Quanto mais nos aproximamos, mais vividamente recordamos o tumultuoso frio da tundra que acompanhou nosso divórcio de nosso pleroma— nosso antídoto contra o presságio da consciência.

What happened on January 6 was profoundly American, emerging as it did from our long and very specific history. No one did this to us. But despite the geographic confusion, George W. Bush, Jake Tapper, and Meghan McCain correctly identified that nothing like this has happened here for a long time.

The moral distinction between the West and the rest is fallacious; the material difference is very real. The United States is still the richest nation in history, and life there has never felt like it did in “banana republics”: after the 1954 CIA coup that deposed Jacobo Árbenz (with the active support of United Fruit), Guatemala devolved into devastating civil war. The US-backed military killed hundreds of thousands of people, carrying out genocide against Maya peoples into the 1980s, to suppress the perceived leftist threat. “For a lot of people in Guatemala and across Latin America, Wednesday did not surprise us,” Aguilar told me. “It is a type of political violence we are used to seeing, except this time we saw it in the country where it usually originates. It is often instigated or created or pushed forward by the United States with the claim it would bring democracy or order to our uncivilized countries.”
