  • He started cheerfully sailing,
  • Partia alegremente navegando,
  • Seeing the light Lusitanian ships,
  • A ver as naus ligeiras Lusitanas,
  • With refreshment of the earth, taking care of itself
  • Com refresco da terra, em si cuidando
  • What are those inhuman people,
  • Que são aquelas gentes inumanas,
  • That, the caspian chambers dwelling,
  • Que, os aposentos cáspios habitando,
  • Conquering the Asian lands
  • A conquistar as terras Asianas
  • They came; and by order of Destiny,
  • Vieram; e por ordem do Destino,
  • The Empire took Constantine.
  • O Império tomaram a Constantino.
