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.

In the waves of the beach In the waves of the sea I want to be happy I want to drown. In the waves of the beach Who goes to kiss me? I want the evening star Queen of the Sea. I want to be happy In the waves of the sea I want to forget everything I want to rest.

O menino dorme. Para que o menino Durma sossegado, Sentada a seu lado A mãezinha canta: - "Dodói vai-te embora! "Deixa o meu filhinho. "Dorme... dorme... meu..." Morta de fadiga, Ela adormeceu. Então, no ombro dela, Um vulto de santa, Na mesma cantiga, Na mesma voz dela, Se debruça e canta: - "Dorme meu amor. "Dorme , meu benzinho..." E o menino dorme.

The boy sleeps. So that the boy sleeps quietly Seated by his side His mama sings: “Little hurt, go away! Leave my little son alone. Sleep, my little one” Dead tired She slept. Then, over her shoulder, The countenance of saint, In the same song, In her same voice She leans over and she sings: “Sleep, my love. Sleep, my sweetheart” and the boy sleeps.

Dentro da noite a vida canta E esgarça névoas ao luar... Fosco minguante o vale encanta. Morreu pecando alguma santa... A água não pára de chorar. Há um amavio esparso no ar... Donde virá ternura tanta?... Paira um sossego singular Dentro da noite... Sinto no meu violão vibrar A alma penada de uma infanta Que definhou do mal de amar... Ouve... Dir-se-ia uma garganta Súplice, triste, a soluçar Dentro da noite...

Into the night life sings And frays mists in the moonlight ... frosted waning the charmed valley. Perishing some sinning saint ... The water will not stop crying. There is a sparse potion in the air ... Will it come as much tenderness? ... Hangs a singular stillness into the night ... I feel in my guitar vibrate The lost soul of a princess Who withered from the evil of love ... Listen ... a throat would say it Pleading, sad, sobbing Into the night ...
