POOR OLD MUSIC
The poet spoke and people heard him attentively
The poet spoke and people used to hear him attentively
The poet spoke and people used to hear him with some attention
The poet spoke and people sometimes heard him with some attention
The poet spoke and some people heard him with some attention
The poet spoke but people rarely heard him with any attention
The poet spoke and people heard him without any attention
The poet spoke and people didn’t hear him anymore
The poet spoke and people just looked at him without hearing
The poet barely speaks and people just yawn in boredom

POBRE VELHA MÚSICA
O poeta falava e as pessoas o ouviam atentamente
O poeta falava e as pessoas costumavam ouvi-lo atentamente
O poeta falava e as pessoas costumavam ouvi-lo com alguma atenção
O poeta falava e as pessoas às vezes o ouviam com alguma atenção
O poeta falava e algumas pessoas o ouviam com alguma atenção
O poeta falava mas raras pessoas o ouviam com alguma atenção
O poeta falava e as pessoas o ouviam sem atenção
O poeta falava e as pessoas já não o ouviam
O poeta falava e as pessoas já o olhavam sem ouvir
O poeta mal fala e as pessoas já abrem a boca em fastio
– Affonso Ávila
