Como um balão vermelho, Que de invisíveis mãos se desprendesse E, ardendo numa chama inextinguível Subisse lento no ar, Desta manhã de cinza e de fumaça, O sol sobe no céu Por sobre o mar.
Like a red balloon, As if it were unfastened from invisible hands End, burning as a flame impossible to blow out It would rise slowly in the air, In this gray and smoky morning, The sun rises in the sky Over the sea.

Na tarde clara, que empalidece, Desponta, de repente, A floração radiosa da terra. À beira do mar, sob as árvores, No alto das hastes de ferro forjado, Os globos de cristal se enchem de luz.
In the light afternoon, which becomes pale, Suddenly, it points out, The gleaming bloom of the earth. At the sea edge, under the trees, At the top of the shaft made of forged iron The globes of crystal fill with light.
