just agony–

Coisas da SIL

Dias de luta
Dias de busca
Dias de tortura.

Dias de renúncia
Dias de procura
Dias de loucura.

Os dias
As horas
As prosas.

A roda que não gira
Que ofusca
Que não muda.

Apenas horas
Apenas dias
Apenas sombrias
Apenas Agonia.

just agony

fighting days
search days
Torture days.

waiver days
search days
Crazy days.

The days
The hours
the prose.

The wheel that doesn’t turn
that overshadows
That doesn’t change.

just hours
just days
just gloomy
Just Agony.
