First sentence: Green, impetuous seas of my native land, where the jandaia sings amid the carnauba fronds: Green seas, that gleam with liquid emerald in the rays of the rising sun, skirting alabaster beaches shaded by coconut trees: Be still, green seas, and softly caress the raging wave so the intrepid boat may calmly float above the waters.
