Melodia
 (Sung text for setting by L. Freitas Branco)
 See original
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
A lilial Virgem Maria,
Todas as tardes, ao poente,
Surge na lua marescente,
Celestial janella fria.

D'essa janella liquescente
Vê tudo, tudo, e tudo espia,
A lilial Virgem Maria
Todas as noites, ao poente.

Lá vem a lua fugidia...
Sê minha amiga, ó Flor dormente!
Esse teu ar indifferente,
Esse teu ar desgostaria
A lilial Virgem Maria.
