Olhos de Amar

Song Cycle by Sara Claro (b. 1986)

5. Olhos Negros  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Por teus olhos negros, negros,
Trago eu negro o coração,
De tanto pedir-lhe amores...
E eles a dizer que não.

E mais não quero outros olhos,
Negros, negros como são;
Que os azuis dão muita esp'rança
Mas fiar-me eu neles, não.

Só negros, negros os quero;
Que, em lhes chegando a paixão,
Se um dia disserem sim...
Nunca mais dizem que não.

Text Authorship:

  • by João Baptista da Silva Leitão de Almeida Garrett (1799 - 1854), "Olhos negros", appears in Folhas Caídas e Outros Poemas
