Sacro Império
Composição sagrada em fogos apagados
Experimentação
Mestre da hipnose congrega fantasmas
Anfíbios mergulhados em solo infértil
Transe de um corpo inerte

Todos os semelhantes se precipitam
Caos na exposição
Um único ser parado na parede
Gritos calados pelo alçapão

Preguem-no

Luzes os trazem de volta à escuridão
Ajoelham-se
Palavras repetidas se oferecem
O rei ainda não está satisfeito
Acolherão amanhã um novo eleito

Julguem-no
Alterando-nos
Remarks about the translation
precipitar-se = cair à frente.
<<Sacro Império>> is an allusion to the Holy Roman Empire

Title
Sacred Empire
Translation
English

Translated by †Lestat†
Target language: English

Holy Empire
Holy arrangement of extinguished fires
Experimentation
Master of hypnosis makes ghosts congregate
Amphibians buried in infertile ground
Ecstasy of an immobile body

All the similar ones hurry
Chaos in the exposition
A lone being standing on the wall
Silent screams for the snare

Nail him down

Lights bring them back to the darkness
They kneel down
Repeated words offer themselves up
The king still is not satisfied
Tomorrow they'll shelter a newly chosen one

Judge him
Changing us

With respect for your language Casper, I felt that this was like a medieval text, and the expression "Holy Empire" should be translated as the "Holy See", equally to the process a.k.a. "the inquisition". What do you think about that?

I've made a few edits. "Holy See" refers only to the Papacy, Porfyhr.

some ideas:submerged-burried, inert-moveless, all the similar ones-all of a kind(?), "the king still isn't satisfied"(ainda means still, yet)

There are quite a few words that aren't literally translated (i.e. ser=being)

Thank you, everyone. Is it OK now? What does "composition" mean here?

Yes. In my opinion the translation is good now.
"composition" is a metaphore which describes the empire.The empire is seen as a composition of people that have been blessed in extinguished fires. That's my guess, but I'm not sure.

How about "confederation", then? A composition is most often a written essay in English.

Now that I'm re-reading it, the phrase "nail him" bothers me. What is it supposed to mean? As in "nail him to the cross", or what?

Also, what is "Silent screams for the snare"?

If you agree with my way of translating the word" composition", I believe that "confederation" is a good choice but the others can have different opinions about "composition".We'd better wait for other ideas.

"Composição" is the way you arrange things so they get a special magic (often used on Eastern religions).

"pregar" means "to clamp" or "to nail" and "preguem-no" = "clamp him "

Pregar could be "to nail" and "to preach".
I see that I forgot to explain a lot of things.

I took your suggestion for the 2nd line, Casper, and I changed "nail him" to "nail him down". Is it OK now?
