2. Anjo da guarda
 (Sung text)

Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Quando minha irmã morreu,

E voltou para junto do Senhor.

5. Modinha
 (Sung text)

Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Na solidão da minha vida
Morrerei, querida,
Do teu desamor.
Muito embora me desprezes,
Te amarei constante,
Sem que a ti distante
Chegue a longe e triste voz do trovador

Feliz te quero!
Mas se um dia
Toda essa alegria
Se mudasse em dor,
Ouvirás do passado
A voz do meu carinho
Repetir baixinho
A meiga e triste confissão do meu amor

6. Na paz do outono
 (Sung text)

Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Na paz do outono,
Grave, profunda,
Teu vulto de ave
Leve ligeira,
Sobre a alameda
Cheia de rosas
Que o luar inunda:
Sombra de seda.
Pluma ligeira
Teu vulto suave
Sobre a alameda
É uma roseira
Cheia de rosas,
Na paz do outono...
Na paz do outono...

10. Desejo
 (Sung text)

Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Pela janela aberta eu vejo a lua

Nas asas vermelhas de um beijo
meu pensamento vôa perto do fruto prateado,
qual um inseto! Ah!
