"Death, what are you taking?" "The daylight."
"What hour did you take it?" "As it dawned."
"Do you know what you're taking?"
"I'm unconcerned."
"Then who made you do it?" "The Creator."

«Que levas, cruel Morte?» «Um claro dia».
«A que horas o tomaste?» «Amanhecendo».
«Entendes o que levas?» «Não o entendo».
«Pois quem to faz levar?» «Quem o entendia».
