Song Cycle by Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959)

1. Aria (Cantilena)

Language: Portuguese

Available translations (or transliterations, if applicable): 


Tarde uma nuvem rósea lenta e transparente.
Sobre o espaço, sonhadora e bela!
Surge no infinito a lua docemente,
Enfeitando a tarde, qual meiga donzela
Que se apresta e a linda sonhadoramente,
Em anseios d'alma para ficar bela
Grita ao céu e a terra toda a Natureza!
Cala a passarada aos seus tristes queixumes
E reflete o mar toda a Sua riqueza...
Suave a luz da lua desperta agora
A cruel saudade que ri e chora!
Tarde uma nuvem rósea lenta e transparente
Sobre o espaço, sonhadora e bela!
Input by Mirna Rubim

2. Dansa (Martelo)

Language: Portuguese

Authorship

Available translations (or transliterations, if applicable): 


Irerê, meu passarinho do sertão do Cariri
