by Mário de Andrade (1893 - 1945)

Lá longe no sul
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Lá longe no Sul,
Lá nos pés da Argentina,
Marulham temíveis os mares gelados,
Não posso fazer mesmo um gesto!

Tu me adivinhas, meu amor,
Porém não queres ser escrava!

Flores!
Apaixonadamente meus braços desgalham-se,
Flores!
Flores amarelas do pau-d'arco secular!
Eu me desgalho sobre teu corpo manso,
As flores estão caindo sobre teu corpo manso,
Te cobrirei de flores amarelas!

Apaixonadamente
Eu me defenderei!
