English to Portuguese: "Our Lady of the Artichokes" by Katherine Vaz General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English When I heard her slip out the front door, I put on my robe and snuck to the kitchen window to watch her waving around the pastry torch I’d given her for Christmas. Her family in Fontinhas had owned a bakery, and she liked blasting sugar into amber glass on the tops of puddings or wielding the fire to form hearts with arrows, or ribbons tied into bows with split, snake-tongued endings. She was using the torch to brand the outline of a veiled woman near the strip of garden at the front of our building, and my only prayer was that no one else was watching. The last thing we needed was a bill for repainting where a lady of bright light had burned, in toast colors, the nimbus of her body to announce the blank of her white heat.
Translation - Portuguese Quando a ouvi sair pela porta da frente, pus o meu robe e esgueirei-me para a janela da cozinha para a ver a balançar o maçarico de pastelaria que eu lhe oferecera no Natal. A família dela, em Fontinhas, tinha sido proprietária de uma pastelaria e ela gostava de transformar o açúcar num vidrado âmbar por cima de bolos ou de desenhar com o fogo corações com setas, ou fitas atadas com laços de pontas fendidas em forma de língua de serpente. Estava a usar o maçarico para gravar a silhueta de uma mulher com um véu, perto da pequena faixa de jardim à frente do nosso edifício, e a minha única prece foi que mais ninguém estivesse a observar. A última coisa que precisávamos era de uma factura para repintar o local onde uma senhora de luz brilhante havia queimado, em cores tostadas, o nimbo do seu corpo para anunciar o vazio do seu calor branco.
