Original text and translations
English text
- The Silver Swan who, living, had no note,
- When death approach'd, unlock'd her silent throat.
- Leaning her breast against the reedy shore,
- Thus sung her first and last, And sung no more:
- "Farewell all joys, O death come close mine eyes.
- More geese than swans now live, more fools than wise."
Portuguese translation
- O cisne prateado que, em vida, não cantou,
- Quando a morte se aproximou abriu a sua garganta silenciosa.
- Encostando o seu peito contra a margem cheia de juncos,
- Assim cantou pela primeira e última vez, e não mais cantou:
- "Adeus prazeres; ó morte, vem fechar os meus olhos.
- Agora vivem mais gansos que cisnes, mais tolos que sábios."
