O forrobodó

Operetta by Francisca Edwiges Neves Gonzaga (1847 - 1935)

Lua branca
 (Sung text for setting by F. Gonzaga)
 Matches base text

Language: Portuguese (Português) 
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

Ai, 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
A sua luz, então me surpreendias
Ajoelhado junto aos pés de 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... 
Oh! lua branca, por quem és, tem dó de mim
