by Manuel Bandeira (1886 - 1968)

Nas ondas da praia
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Our translations:  ENG
Nas ondas da praia
Nas ondas do mar
Quero ser feliz
Quero me afogar.

Nas ondas da praia
Quem vem me beijar?
Quero a estrela-d'alva
Rainha do mar.

Quero ser feliz
Nas ondas do mar
Quero esquecer tudo
Quero descansar.
