Every fowl/bird on a tree fell silent
Every bush at the lake fell asleep
Night fell
Fell

And why, why
Why is it
The steps of my beloved were late
They were late in coming

A wind sails in the grass
A twig moves in his dream
A voice from afar
Afar

Horseshoes chivalrously trampling
Go up from an expanse of a field
My beloved will fly to me

Horseshoes chivalrously trampling
Swallow from an expanse of a field
Silence, silence

The universe dives in the silence
My heart freezes like a grave
My beloved does not come
My beloved, my beloved.

A wind sails in the grass
A twig moves in his dream
A voice from afar
Afar

Horseshoes chivalrously trampling
Swallow from an expanse of a field
Silence, silence

Horseshoes chivalrously trampling
Swallow from an expanse of a field
Silence, silence

The universe dives in the silence
My heart freezes like a grave
My beloved does not come
My beloved, my beloved.

Portugese Translation
E TODAS AS AVES SILENCIARAM

E todas as aves silenciaram
Sobre as árvores
E todos os arbustos no lago adormeceram
Anoiteceu mas porque, porque
Porque então
Demoram os passos de meu amado
Demoram a vir

O vento acaricia a grama
O galho se movimenta em seu sonho
Voz ao longe
Longe...

Um galope de cavaleiro surge
Em extensos campos
Meu amado voará
Ao meu encontro...

Um galope de cavaleiro
Percorre os extensos campos
Silêncio,
Só silêncio...

Mergulha o universo em silêncio
Meu coração mergulha em gélido túmulo
Não virá meu amado
Amado,
Amado...
