Lua Branca
Chiquinha Gonzaga
White Moon
Oh, White moon of charming brightness
If it's true that you give shelter to love
Oh, come take the tears from my eyes
Oh, come kill this passion that is with me
Oh, for whom you are, come down from the sky, oh, White moon
Take away this bitterness from my chest, oh, come, pull it out
Give me the moonlight of your compassion
Oh, come, by God, illuminate my heart
And how many times you appeared in the sky
Shining in a calm and starry night
Your light would surprise me
Kneeling at the feet of my beloved
And she crying, sobbing, full of shame
Would come to offer me a sweet kiss on her lips
She left, abandoned me like this
Oh, White moon, for whom you are, have mercy on me
She left, abandoned me like this
Oh, White moon, for whom you are, have mercy on me
