Lua Branca

Oh, lua branca de fulgores e de encanto

Se é verdade que ao amor tu dás abrigo

Vem tirar dos olhos meus o pranto

Ai, vem matar essa paixão que anda comigo

Oh, por quem és desce do céu, oh lua branca

Essa amargura do meu peito, oh, vem, arranca

Dá-me o luar de tua compaixão

Oh, vem, por Deus, iluminar meu coração

E quantas vezes lá no céu me aparecias

A brilhar em noite calma e constelada

E em tua luz então me surpreendias

Ajoelhado junto aos pés da minha amada

E ela a chorar, a soluçar, cheia de pejo

Vinha em seus lábios me ofertar um doce beijo

Ela partiu, me abandonou assim

Ó, lua branca, por quem és, tem dó de mim

White Moon

Oh, white moon of radiant wonder

If it's true that you give sanctuary to love

Come and rid my eyes of these tears

Oh, come and kill this passion that follows me

Oh, by all means, come down from the sky, oh, white moon

This bitterness in my chest, oh, come, tear it out

Give me the moonlight of your compassion

Oh, come, by God, and light up my heart

So many times you'd appear to me up there in the sky

Shining in the calm and constellated night

And in your light you'd surprise me

While knelt before the feet of my beloved

She'd be crying, sobbing, filled with shame

You would come through her lips and offer me a sweet kiss

She's gone, just left me like this

O, white moon, by all means, take pity on me
