by Antônio Nobre (1867 - 1900)

Ó virgens que passai, ao Sol‑poente
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Ó virgens que passai, ao Sol-poente,
Pelas estradas ermas, a cantar!
Eu quero ouvir uma canção ardente,
Que me transporte ao meu perdido Lar.

Cantai-me, nessa voz onipotente,
O Sol que tomba, aureolando o Mar,
A fartura da seara reluzente,
O vinho, a Graça, a formosura, o luar!

Cantai! cantai as límpidas cantigas!
Das ruína do meu lar desaterrai
Todas aquelas ilusões antigas

Que eu vi morrer num sonho, como um ai...
Ó suaves e frescas raparigas,
Adormecei-me nessa voz... Cantai!
