Cheiro de Relva [English translation]

how beautiful it is lie down in the summer

the Sertão blinds in the morning's balconys

let in peaces of early morning

and under the blue blanket

sleeps calm the sister moon

lawn scent

brings from the field soft breeze

that makes us feel child

lulling milions of nests

the grass hides the dewed little flowers

almost all time abandoned

in the declivities of the trails

the dawning juriti of the forest

with his singuing opens the party

re-flying over all the jungle

the tame big river gets agitated

seeming to find beautiful

the land full of lawn

the red sun gets warm and appears

all the vergel thanks

by the nests that he sheltered

golden buttons loosen of their branches

they are drops of dew

of a night that passed over
