by Mário de Andrade (1893 - 1945)

Não sei porque os tetéus
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Não sei porquê os tetéus gritam tanto esta noite...
Não serão talvez nem mesmo os tetéus.
Porém minha alma está tão cheia de delírios
Que faz um susto enorme dentro do meu ser.

Estás imóvel.
És feito uma praia...
Talvez estejas dormindo, não sei.

Mas eu vibro cheinho de delírios,
Os tetéus gritam tanto em meus ouvidos,
Acorda! ergue ao menos o braço dos seios!
Afaga o grito dos tetéus!
