Lua Branca
Chiquinha Gonzaga
White Moon
Oh, white moon of enchantment
If it is true that you give shelter to love
Oh, come take the tears from my eyes
Oh, come kill this passion that walks with me
Oh, for who you are, come down from heaven, oh, white moon
This bitterness in my chest, oh, come, tear it away
Give me the moonlight of your compassion
Oh, come, for God's sake, light up my heart
And how many times did you appear to me in heaven
Shining on a calm and starry night
Your light then surprised me
Kneeling at the feet of my beloved
And she was crying, sobbing, full of shame
He came to your lips to offer me a sweet kiss
She left, abandoned me like that
Oh, white moon, for whom you are, have pity on me
She left, abandoned me like that
Oh, white moon, for who you are, have pity on me
