by Henrique Coelho Netto (1864 - 1934)

Cantilena
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Dormi, dormi tranqüilamente,
Aconchegado ao meu amor.
Tendes no colo um ninho quente
Onde achareis sempre calor.

Silve, rebrame o vento agreste
Que muda em neve a água do rio.
Mais pode o amor do que o nordeste
Que traz dos montes tanto frio.

Meu coração arde e se inflama
Para aquecer-vos meu Senhor
Não há calor como o da chama
Que nasce esplêndida do amor

Géa, que importa? A noite é alta.
O vento geme e uiva a torrente.
Junto de mim nada vos falta,
Dormi, dormi, tranqüilamente
