Rondel do Alentejo

Em minareteMateBateLeveVerde neveMinueteDe luar.

Meia-NoiteDo segredoNo penedoDuma noiteDe luar.Olhos carosDe morgadaEnfeitadaCom preparosDe luar.

Rompem fogoPandeiretasMorenitas,Bailam tetas.E bonitas,Bailam chitasE jaquetas,São as fitasDesafogoDe luar.

Voa o xaileAndorinhaPelo baile,E a vidaDoentinhaE a ermidaAo luar. LaçaroteEscarlateDe cocoteAlegriaDe MariaLa-ri-rateEm foliaDe luar.

Giram pésGiram passosGirassóisE os bonés,E os braçosDestes doisGiram laçosAo luar.

O coleteDesta VirgemEndoideceComo o SDo fogueteEm vertigemDe luar.

Em minareteMateBateLeveVerde neveMinueteDe luar.

Rondel of Alentejo

In the minaretIt killsIt beatsIt drivesGreen snowMinuetOf moonlight.

MidnightOf the secretOn the boulderOf a nightOf moonlight.Light-colored eyesOf a mortified womanOrnateWith the preparationsOf moonlight.

They break fireTambourine playersDark-haired women,Breasts dance.And beautiful women,Cheetahs danceAnd jackets,They are the staresThe unleashingOf moonlight.

The shawl fliesShallowlyThrough the dance,And lifeLittle sick girlAnd the hermitageTo the moonlight. A little loopOf scarletOf coconutThe joyOf MariaLa-ri-rateIn the revelryOf moonlight.

Feet spinDance moves spinSunflowersAnd the bonnets,And the armsOf these twoLoops spinTo the moonlight.

The waistcoatOf this VirginGrows wrathfulWith the SOf the rocketIn the vertigoOf moonlight.

In the minaretIt killsIt beatsIt drivesGreen snowMinuetOf moonlight.
