Our translations: ENG
Estavas, linda Inês, posta em sossego, De teus anos colhendo doce fruto, Naquele engano da alma, ledo e cego, Que a fortuna não deixa durar muito, Nos saudosos campos do Mondego, De teus fermosos olhos nunca enxuto, Aos montes ensinando e às ervinhas O nome que no peito escrito tinhas.
