A manhã de serração
 (Sung text for setting by A. Fragoso)
 Matches base text
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Our translations:  ENG
Em tempos de homens gigantes,
Houve um Rei, O Desejado,
Que foi, em naus embarcado,
Buscando terras distantes...

Quantos corações amantes
Deixaram lar e noivado!
(Ide ouvir!  O mar salgado
Inda os chora como dantes... )

Lá morreram, num deserto...
Mas voltarão! Longe ou perto,
Hão de tornar, afinal!
Voltarão... mas talvez quando,
Já dentre as névoas, voltando,
Não hão-de achar Portugal!

Composition:

    Set to music by Antonio Lima Fragoso (1897 - 1918), "A manhã de serração" [ voice and piano ], from Canções do Sol Poente, no. 5
