Romance de Flor e Luna
Jairo Lambari Fernandes
Romance of Flower and Moon
When one day Rosaflor arrived at the ranch
Small world in a deep corridor
She saw a saddled bay horse
And a gaucho with a dappled horse on the reins
Mariano Luna, the tamer, followed the winds
Bringing gentle horses to trade along the roads
And Rosaflor, the youngest daughter of Nico
Washed clothes by the water's edge
Rosaflor with a gentle smile and good evening
Entered the ranch with her eyes full of desire
Mariano Luna and his worn-out clothes
Told the girl another good evening without saying, without saying
Mariano Luna, who had the moon in his eyes
Gave that brightness to her eyes
And extinguished the extreme light that contained
From the other moon that appeared in the window
The washerwoman knew little about moons
And even less about the looks they have
And then she discovered in the eyes of the wanderer
That even flowers don't know much about love
That even flowers don't know much about love
The tamer who only knew about these fields
Knew little about the blue that comes from flowers
But he discovered after miles of roads
That he had not taken care of his loves for a long time
The rustic ranch was adorned with flower and moon
Small world in a deep corridor
Which unknowingly became clearer and quieter
After the moon leaned over the flower
The road was left with no one to leave
And wide smiles different from the usual
A gentle bay horse grazing in the pasture
And clean bombachas hanging on the clothesline, on the clothesline
