Há uma estrela no céu Que ninguém vê senão eu: Inda bem! -- que a não vê mais ninguém. Como as outras não reluz, Mas dá tão serena luz, Que inda bem! -- não a vê mais ninguém. No cantinho azul do céu Onde ela está, não digo eu A ninguém! -- sei-o eu só: inda bem.

There is a star in the sky That no one sees but I; How good! -- that no one else sees it. It does not shine as the others do But it gives out such a calm light! How good! -- no one else sees it. In a blue little corner of the sky, Where it is, I will not tell No one! -- Only I know it: how good.
