Canção do Berço
Language: Portuguese (Português)
A estrelinha d'alva
mudou de lugar,
p'ra ver a menina
logo ao acordar
E a estrela da tarde,
tremula, a sorrir,
fez-se lamparina
para a ver dormir.

Lullaby
Language: English  after the Portuguese (Português)
The small star at daybreak
has changed its position,
to see the little girl
when she wakes up
And the evening star,
trembling, smiling,
turned into a night light
to see her asleep.
