Very nice.

What do the poems say?

Hi Marvin and thanks for asking. I'm not able to translate poetry, something which is an art by itself. As far as I know, none of these poems has an english translation. All of them tell something about a specific date in portuguese recent history, the 25th of April, 1974, on which nearly 50 years of dictatorship where overturned (more details can be seen on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnation_Revolution). As such, the poems talk about freedom, a sense of awakening in freedom, hope in a free future and so on.
