Aos pés, ou "no solo gaucho".


Explanation:
Como se trata de um texto poético, exige-se uma 'tournure' flexível, evitando-se o "pé da letra" que enfeia o poema, sem destruir o sentido, é claro. Daí a minha sugestão. Hedonismo e dor são opostos muito claros.

bobo pode também ser considerado uma pequena ferida, um leva machucado.

Example sentence(s):
  • Aos pés/ sob o solo gaúcho despontava a praia onde a DOR (onomatopaica de dor física em francês e não o bobo/idiota, como em português) bronzearia seu hedonismo.
