Vem o sol de agosto, vou dormir no prado
The August sun comes, I'm going to sleep in the meadow
Tudo lá é de gosto, sem ferro de arado
Everything there is tasteful, without plow iron
A cama está feita de hortelã mourisca
The bed is made of Moorish mint
E a macela espreita com graça e belisca!
And the macela gracefully peeks and pinches!
Hortelã mourisca por entre a macela
Moorish mint among the macela
Vem lavar teu rosto no orvalho dela!
Come wash your face in her dew!
Hortelã mourisca pela madrugada
Moorish mint in the early morning
Beijarei teus olhos, rosa perfumada!
I will kiss your eyes, fragrant rose!
Sob um mar de estrelas de flor de macela
Under a sea of macela flower stars
Não tenho fronteiras, não tenho janelas!
I have no borders, I have no windows!
Tenho a minha amada, cotovia arisca
I have my beloved, skittish lark
Toda perfumada de hortelã mourisca!
All scented with Moorish mint!
