by Manuel Bandeira (1886 - 1968)

Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Falas: tua voz me delicias;
Ris: teu riso me desassossega.
Vivo torturado, noite e dia!
Teu olhar promete, a boca nega...
Tenho a sede ardente do teu beijo.
És, amor, meu único desejo!
Se sonho, em meu sonhar,
seu braço aponta um paraíso
e o meu olhar tão longe
vejo o céu ao acordar!
Amor, meu bem, meu tudo és tu!
