— O fruto que cai da árvore, não torna mais a ela; a folha que se despega do ramo, murcha, seca e morre; o vento a leva. Peri é a folha; tu és a árvore, mãe. Peri não voltará ao teu seio.
— The fruit that falls from the tree returns to it no more; the leaf that detaches from the branch withers, dries and dies; the wind carries it away. Peri is the leaf; you are the tree, mother. Peri will not return to your bosom.
