Portuguese text

Que belas as margens
do rio possante,
Que ao largo espumante
campêa sem par!

Ali das bromélias
nas flores douradas
Há silfos e fadas,
que fazem seu lar…

E, em lindos cardumes,
Subtis vagalumes
Acendem os lumes
P'ra o baile na flor.

E então nas arcadas
Das petálas doiradas,
Os grilos em festa
Começam na orquesta
Febris a tocar.

E as breves
Falenas
Vão leves,
Serenas,

Em bando
Girando,
Valsando,
Voando
No ar!
