Era briluz. As lesmolisas touvas 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Roldavam e reviam nos gramilvos Did gyre and gimble in the wabe Estavam mimsicais as pintalouvas All mimsy were the borogoves E os momirratos davam grilvos And the mome raths outgrabe
Foge do Jaguadarte, o que não morre! Beware the Jabberwock, my son! Garra que agarra, bocarra que urra! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Foge da ave Fefel, meu filho, e corre Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun Do frumioso Babassura! The frumious Bandersnatch!
Ele arrancou sua espada vorpal He took his vorpal sword in hand E foi atras do inimigo do Homundo Long time the manxome foe he sought Na árvore Tamtam ele afinal So rested he by the Tumtum tree Parou, um dia, sonilundo And stood awhile in thought
E enquanto estava em sussustada sesta And as in uffish thought he stood Chegou o Jaguadarte, olho de fogo The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame Sorrelfiflando atraves da floresta Came whiffling through the tulgey wood E borbulia um riso louco! And burbled as it came!
Um dois! Um, dois! Sua espada mavorta One, two! One, two! And through and through Vai-vem, vem-vai, para tras, para diante! The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! Cabeca fere, corta e, fera morta He left it dead, and with its head Ei-lo que volta galunfante He went galumphing back
Pois entao tu mataste o Jaguadarte! And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Vem aos meus braços, homenino meu! Come to my arms, my beamish boy! Oh dia fremular! Bravooh! Bravarte! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! Ele se ria jubileu He chortled in his joy
Era briluz. As lesmolisas touvas 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Roldavam e relviam nos gramilvos Did gyre and gimble in the wabe Estavam mimsicais as pintalouvas All mimsy were the borogoves E os momirratos davam grilvos And the mome raths outgrabe
