"Neste recanto encantador e lindo. Éden sublime, de vergéis em flor. Quem passara, sem contemplar, sorrindo. As maravilhas do divino amor. Passei cantando aquele amor infindo. Vinte anos já. E se alguém dia eu for para outras terras, a Jesus seguindo. Irão comigo, amenizado a dor. Recordações das pontes murmurantes, de um povo bom exemplos palpitantes. Das criancinhas os sorrisos francos. Sempre contente, levarei comigo, como presente deste povo amigo. Um lindo poema de cabelos brancos.

And if one day I go to other lands, following Jesus. Iran with me, eased the pain. Memories bridges the murmuring of a people good examples throbbing. of the babies smiles francs. Always happy, I will take with me as this friend of the people. a beautiful poem of white hair.
