3. Na capela  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Na capela, perdida entre a folhagem,
O Christo, lá no fundo, agonisava...
Oh! como intimamente se casava
Com minha dor a dor d'aquela imagem!

Filhos ambos do amor, igual miragem
Nos roçou pela fronte, que escaldava...
Igual traição, que o affecto mascarava,
Nos deu supplicio ás mãos da vilanagem...

E agora, ali, em quanto da floresta
A sombra se infiltrava lenta e mesta,
Vencidos ambos, martyres do Fado,

Fitavamo-nos mudos -- dor igual! --
Nem, dos dois, saberei dizer-vos qual
Mais palido, mais triste e mais cançado...

Text Authorship:

  • by Antero Tarquínio de Quental (1842 - 1891), "Na capela", appears in Os sonetos completos de Antero de Quental

4. Sete anos de pastor  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Sete anos de pastor Jacob servia
Labão, pai de Raquel, serrana bela;
Mas não servia ao pai, servia a ela,
E a ela só por prémio pretendia.

Os dias, na esperança de um só dia,
Passava, contentando-se com vê-la;
Porém o pai, usando de cautela,
Em lugar de Raquel lhe dava Lia.

Vendo o triste pastor que com enganos
Lhe fora assim negada a sua pastora,
Como se a não tivera merecida,

Começa de servir outros sete anos,
Dizendo: -- Mais servira, se não fora
Para tão longo amor tão curta a vida!

Text Authorship:

  • by Luís de Camões (c1524 - 1580), "Sete anos de pastor Jacob servia"
