This piece is based on the poem “Autopsicografía” (Autopsychography) by Fernando Pessoa (Lisbon 1888–1935). Although using apparently simple technical means, his poetry acquires true interest by delving into his psychological world (from childhood he suffered from a mental condition known as multiple personality).
The same poem is sung three times with identical structure, but in different languages (Spanish, Portuguese and English).
