Era meia-noiteIt was midnight
O sino da meia-noite tocandoThe midnight tolling
Era meia-noiteIt was midnight
Quinta de outubroOctober thursday
Era mil novecentos e oitenta e oitoIt was nineteen nineeteentwentyeight
Era um homem ou melhor, uma mulherIt was a male or rather a female
Ele veio e as folhas de outono estavam caindoHe came and the autumn leaves were falling
Na quietude, uma quietude prateadaIn stillness, silvery stillness
Ele tinha um nome selvagemHe had a savage name
E o aço brilhando azulAnd the steel shining blue
Ele tinha uma risada roucaHe had a hoarse laughing
Em uma piscina prateadaIn a silvery pool
Um vaso de carne ao solA fleshing vassel in the sun
Dos mares do sulFrom the southern seas
Um fantasma vagando sozinhoA ghostly wandering alone
Em mares indistintosIn undistinguished seas
As tochas, as chamas e as sombrasThe torches, the flames and the shadows
O vento, seu gemido e as luzes ofuscantesThe wind, its moaning and the dazzling lights
Ele veio, o vento...He came, the wind...
Oh, o vento do sudoeste...Oh, the southern west wind...
