by Belmiro Ferreira Braga (1872 - 1937)

Quando subo a encosta agreste
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Quando subo a encosta agreste
Por ver-te em ânsias morrendo
A subida é tão suave
Ó vida da minha vida!
[É tão suave a subida]1
Que eu penso que estou descendo.

Mas quando [desço]2 saudoso
Deste teu olhar infindo
A descida é tão penosa
Ó vida da minha vida!
[É tão penosa a descida]3
Que eu penso que estou subindo.
