As aves / Birds
Que belas melodias gorjeiam as aves
Quando a tarde do dia longe se esvai
Deixando em mim os tais brandos tons suaves
De mais um dia que aos meus dias subtrai.

Birds
Translated into English by Katharine F. Baker and Emanuel Melo
Birds What lovely melodies the birds twitter
When the day’s afternoon fades
Leaving inside me such warm soothing tones
That from my dwindling days subtract another.
