- Already in the broad ocean they sailed,
- Já no largo Oceano navegavam,
- The restless waves moving away;
- As inquietas ondas apartando;
- The winds gently breathed,
- Os ventos brandamente respiravam,
- From the ships the concave sails swell;
- Das naus as velas côncavas inchando;
- From the white scum the seas showed
- Da branca escuma os mares se mostravam
- Covered, where the bows are cutting
- Cobertos, onde as proas vão cortando
- The maritime consecrated waters,
- As marítimas águas consagradas,
- That of the cattle of Proteo are cut
- Que do gado de Próteo são cortadas
