by Manuel Bandeira (1886 - 1968)

Tema e variações
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Sonhei ter sonhado
Que havia sonhado.

Em sonho lembrei-me
De um sonho passado:
O de ter sonhado
Que estava sonhando.

Sonhei ter sonhado...
Ter sonhado o quê?
Que havia sonhado
Estar com você.
Estar? Ter estado,
Que é tempo passado.

Um sonho presente
Um dia sonhei.
Chorei de repente,
Pois vi, despertado,
Que tinha sonhado.
