HELL
INFERNO
THE STREET OF OUR LADY OF THE FIELDS
A RUA DE NOSSA SENHORA DOS CAMPOS
RUE BARRÉE
RUE BARRÉE
"Along the shore the cloud waves break,
"Ao longo da margem as ondas de nuvem se quebram,
The twin suns sink behind the lake,
Os dois sóis se afundam atrás do lago,
The shadows lengthen
As sombras se alongam
In Carcosa.
Em Carcosa.
Strange is the night where black stars rise,
Estranha é a noite onde estrelas negras surgem,
And strange moons circle through the skies
E estranhas luas circulam pelos céus
But stranger still is
Mas ainda mais estranha é
Lost Carcosa.
A perdida Carcosa.
Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Canções que as Híades hão de cantar,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Onde esvoaçam os farrapos do Rei,
Must die unheard in
Devem morrer sem ser ouvidas em
Dim Carcosa.
A sombria Carcosa.
Song of my soul, my voice is dead;
Canção de minha alma, minha voz está morta;
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
Morre tu, sem ser cantada, como lágrimas não derramadas
Shall dry and die in
Que secarão e morrerão em
Lost Carcosa."
A perdida Carcosa."
Cassilda's Song in "The King in Yellow,"
