Tarde uma nuvem rósea lenta e transparente. Sobre o espaço, sonhadora e bela! Surge no infinito a lua docemente, Enfeitando a tarde, qual meiga donzela Que se apresta e a linda sonhadoramente, Em anseios d'alma para ficar bela Grita ao céu e a terra toda a Natureza! Cala a passarada aos seus tristes queixumes E reflete o mar toda a Sua riqueza... Suave a luz da lua desperta agora A cruel saudade que ri e chora! Tarde uma nuvem rósea lenta e transparente Sobre o espaço, sonhadora e bela!

Afternoon, a rosy, slow and transparent cloud in the air, dreamy and beautiful! The Moon sweetly emerges into infinity, Decorating the afternoon like a gentle maiden Who dreamily prepares herself to be gorgeous With an anxious soul to keep herself beautiful. All of nature shouts to the Sky and to the Earth! Flocks of birds hush to its complaints And the Sea reflects its great splendor.. Softly in the light of the moon now awakes Cruel longing that laughs and cries. Afternoon, a rosy, slow and transparent cloud in the air, dreamy and beautiful...
