by Glauco Flores de Sá Brito (1919 - 1970)

Cantiga de ninar
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Dorme amor para sonhar,
Fecha os olhos, sonhadora,
Já trescalam no ar as flores
Lá do céu desce o luar.

O teu rosta é de marfim,
Teus olhos de azul do mar,
O meu peito, um berço enorme,
Dorme, dorme... Dorme, dorme...
Sob a luz branca do luar.

O meu peito é um berço é um berço enorme,
Deita-te nele a sonhar,
Que por ti eu velarei
Até quando o sol voltar.

Fecha os olhos, meu amor,
Cantarei uma "berceuse",
uma cantiga de ninar,
Tantas vezes... Tantas vezes...
Até te ver dormitar.

Dorme, dorme... Dorme... dorme...
Vou os teus lábios beijar.
