      Dizem que és um aerólitho,
      um bólide, um corpo insólito,
      que, vindo lá de outros paramos,
      cá na terra se inflammou!
      Mas, para mim, és um astro,
      que, por ter feito algum crime,
      já ninguém mais te redime,
      e Deos dos céos te expulsou!
      They say you're an aerolith,
      a bolide, an unusual body,
      which, coming from other skies,
      ignited here on earth!
      But, to me, you're a body,
      which, for having committed a crime,
      no one can redeem you anymore,
      and God cast you out of the heavens!

Usage notes

This spelling employs an accent mark to clarify the height of the stressed vowel o. A more frequent spelling was aerolitho, without the accent.
