Aria (Cantilena)
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Our translations:  ENG ENG FRE GER ITA SPA
Tarde uma nuvem rósea lenta e transparente.
Sobre o espaço, sonhadora e bela!
Surge no infinito a lua docemente,
Enfeitando a tarde, qual meiga donzela
Que se apresta e a linda sonhadoramente,
Em anseios d'alma para ficar bela
Grita ao céu e a terra toda a Natureza!
Cala a passarada aos seus tristes queixumes
E reflete o mar toda a Sua riqueza...
Suave a luz da lua desperta agora
A cruel saudade que ri e chora!
Tarde uma nuvem rósea lenta e transparente
Sobre o espaço, sonhadora e bela!

Air (Cantilène)
Language: French (Français)  after the Portuguese (Português) 
L'après-midi, un nuage rose, lent et transparent,
Sur l'espace, rêveur et beau !
La lune apparaît doucement dans l'infini
Ornant l'après-midi, comme une douce jeune fille
Qui s'apprête rêveusement à être jolie,
Aspirant dans l'âme à être belle,
Crie au ciel et à la terre toute la nature !
Les troupes d'oiseaux se taisent à sa triste complainte
Et la mer reflète sa splendeur...
Doucement dans la lumière de la lune s'éveille maintenant
Le cruel désir qui rit et pleure !
L'après-midi, un nuage rose, lent et transparent,
Sur l'espace, rêveur et beau !
