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!

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 !
