Cinco canções - Seis poesias de Manuel Bandeira

Song Cycle by Ernst Mahle (b. 1929)

1. A realidade e a imagem  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Portuguese (Português) 
O arranha-céu sobe no ar puro lavado pela chuva
E desce refletido na poça de lama do pátio.
Entre a realidade e a imagem, no chão seco que as separa,

Quatro pombas passeiam.

  • by Manuel Bandeira (1886 - 1968), "A realidade e a imagem"

3. Cantiga  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Nas ondas da praia
Nas ondas do mar
Quero ser feliz
Quero me afogar.

Nas ondas da praia
Quem vem me beijar?
Quero a estrela-d'alva
Rainha do mar.

Quero ser feliz
Nas ondas do mar
Quero esquecer tudo
Quero descansar.

4. Lenda brasileira  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Portuguese (Português) 
A moita buliu. Bentinho Jararaca levou a arma à cara:
o que saiu do mato foi o Veado Branco! 
Bentinho ficou pregado no chão. 
Quis puxar o gatilho e não pôde.
- Deus me perdoe!
Mas o Cussaruim veio vindo, veio vindo, 
parou junto do caçador e começou 
a comer devagarinho o cano da espingarda.

5. Tema e variações  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Sonhei ter sonhado
Que havia sonhado.

Em sonho lembrei-me
De um sonho passado:
O de ter sonhado
Que estava sonhando.

Sonhei ter sonhado...
Ter sonhado o quê?
Que havia sonhado
Estar com você.
Estar? Ter estado,
Que é tempo passado.

Um sonho presente
Um dia sonhei.
Chorei de repente,
Pois vi, despertado,
Que tinha sonhado.
