Pálida Madona
Language: Portuguese (Português)
Our translations: ENG
Ó Pallida Madona de meus sonhos, Bella filha dos cerros de Enggandi Vem inspirar os cantos do poéta, Rósa branca da lyra de David. Todo o amor que em meu peito re pousava, Como o orvalho das noites no relento, A teus pés elevouse como as nuvens, Que se perdem no azul do firmamento!
