Song Cycle by Gilberto Mendes (b. 1922)

1. A hora cinzenta  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Desce um longo poente de elegia
Sôbre as mansas paisagens resignadas;
Uma humaníssima melancolia
Embalsama as distâncias desoladas...

Longe, num sino antigo, a Ave-Maria
Abençoa a alma ingênua das estradas;
Andam surdinas de anjos e de fadas,
Na penumbra nostálgica, macia...

Espiritualidades comoventes
Sobem da terra triste, em reticência
Pela tarde sonâmbula, imprecisa...

Os sentidos se esfumam, a alma é essência,
E entre fugas de sombras transcendentes,
O Pensamento se volatiza...
