Noite Cheia de Estrelas
Silvio Caldas
Night Full of Stars
High night, smiling sky
The quietude is almost a dream
The moonlight falls on the forest
Like a rain of silver
Of very rare splendor
Only you sleep, you don't listen
To your singer
Revealing to the graceful moon
The painful story of this love
Moon
Send your silver light
To awaken my beloved
I want to kill my desires
Suffocate her with my kisses
I sing
And the woman I love so much
Doesn't listen to me, she's sleeping
I sing and finally
Not even the moon pities me
Because upon seeing that it's me who calls you
And she hides among the mist
Up there the elusive moon
Is in the sky so pensive
The stars so serene
Like a flood of moths
They wander dizzily in the moonlight
All the astral realm fell silent
To listen
To your name among the dirges
And the painful complaints
In the moonlight
