Lua Branca

Oh, white moon of charms and glimmers
If it’s true that you shelter love
Come wipe the tears from my eyes
Oh, come end this passion that’s with me

Ah! For whom you are, come down from the sky, oh, white moon
Come tear this bitterness from my heart
Give me the moonlight of your compassion
Oh, please, for God’s sake, light up my heart

And so many times you appeared in the sky
Shining on calm, starry nights
Your light would surprise me then
Kneeling by the feet of my beloved

And she crying, sobbing, full of shame
Came to offer me a sweet kiss on her lips
She left, abandoned me like this
Oh, white moon, for whom you are, have pity on me
