The text underneath the figure reads
"Aquela triste leda madrugada,
cheia toda de mágoa e de piedade,
enquanto houver no mundo saüdade
quero que seja sempre celebrada."
It is a poem by the 16th century Portuguese poet Luis de Camões. The translation is:
"The dawn rises lovely but ill-fated and full of grief. For as long as heartbreaks prey upon our tragic world, this dawning day should be forever famous and celebrated." (translation by William Baer).
