A Serpente que Dança de Charles Baudelaire

A Serpente que Dança (Le Serpent Qui Danse)


Em teu corpo, lânguida amante,
Me apraz contemplar,
Como um tecido vacilante,
A pele a faiscar.
Em tua fluida cabeleira

De ácidos perfumes,
Onde olorosa e aventureira
De azulados gumes,
Como um navio que amanhece
Mal desponta o vento,
Minha alma em sonho se oferece
Rumo ao firmamento
Teus olhos que jamais traduzem
Rancor ou doçura,
São jóias frias onde luzem
O ouro e a gema impura.
Ao ver-te a cadência indolente,
Bela de exaustão,
Dir-se-á que dança uma serpente
No alto de um bastão.
Ébria de preguiça infinita,
A fronte de infanta
Se inclina vagarosa e imita
A de uma elefanta.
E teu corpo pende e se aguça
Como escuna esguia,
Que às praias toca e se debruça
Sobre a espuma fria.
Qual uma inflada vaga oriunda
Dos gelos frementes,
Quando a água em tua boca inunda
A arcada dos dentes
Bebo de um vinho que me infunde
Amargura e calma,
Um líquido céu que se difunde
Astros em minha alma!
               (Charles Baudelaire, tradução de Ivan Junqueira)
