Available translation(s): FRE
As tuas mãos nas minhas mãos, os meus olhos nos teus olhos; assim começou o nosso amor. Era por um luar de maio; as flores se abriam em perfume. Falava por mim o silêncio e o ramalhete que fazias ficava por acabar. Como é puro este nosso amor. Prendem-se-me os olhos no teu véu cor de ouro. Enternece-me como um elogio o ramo de jasmins que tu me deste. E nos buscamos e nos fugimos, doces lutas simuladas, risos... timidez... Como é puro este nosso amor.
