by Luís de Camões (c1524 - 1580)
A Fonte dos Amores
Language: Portuguese (Português)
As filhas do Mondego, a morte escura Longo tempo chorando memoraram E por memória eterna em fonte pura As Lágrimas choradas transformaram O nome lhe puseram que ainda dura Dos amores de Inês que ali passaram Vede que fresca fonte rega as flores Que as Lágrimas são água e o nome amores
