Original text and translations

Portuguese text
Um olhar, um doce olhar, um calmo olhar,
Um olhar que fascina e ilumina

Um olhar, um sério olhar, um branco olhar
Um olhar vazio que enxerga através do infinito

Um olhar, um seco olhar, mal olhar,
Olhar em forma de luar

Um olhar, um trocar, um amor apenas a quem se deixou olhar
Um doce olhar, um calmo olhar, um olhar.
(Poem by Mari­lia Moreira)

English translation
A look, a sweet look, a calm look
A look that fascinates and lightens

A look, serious look, white look
An empty look that sees through the infinite

A look, dry look, bad look
A look in the shape of the moonlight

A look, a sharing, a love only to the one who allowed oneself to be looked
A sweet look, a calm look, a look
(Translation by Davina Marques)
