Historietas (Historiettes)

Song Cycle by Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887 - 1959)

1. Solidão
 (Sung text)

Language: Portuguese (Português) 
E chove... Uma goteira, fora,
Como alguém que canta de mágoa,
Canta monótona e sonora
A balada do pingo d'água.
N'um dia assim tu foste embora...

Text Authorship:

  • by Ribeiro Couto (1898 - 1963), "Solidão"

2. Lune d'octobre
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Au long de ces canaux
Le clair de lune
Des lagunes
Danse dans l'eau dans l'eau...

Aux soupirs assoupis
Des mandolines,
En sourdine
Meurent les lys, les lys, les lys,
Les lys sur mon perron...
Les feuilles mortes
Sur l'eau morte
Pleurent ton nom...

Un friselis tout blanc
Clôt le silence...
Somnolences
D'anciens jardins,
D'anciens jardins lassants
Bleuis de lune,
La beguine
Des blans bassins.

Au long des vieux canaux
Le clair de lune
Des lagunes
Danse dans l'eau, dans l'eau...
dans l'eau...

Confirmed with Adriano Lopes Sobrinho, HISTORIETAS DE VILLA-LOBOS: Análise e Interpretação , Belo Horizonte Escola de Música da UFMG 2017, page 46. This poem was probably directly handed over to Villa-Lobos.

3. O novelozinho de linha
 (Sung text)

Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Para cá, para lá...
Para cá, para lá...
Um novelozinho de linha...
Para cá, para lá...
Para cá, para lá...
Oscila no ar pela mão de uma criança
(Vem e vai...)
Que delicadamente e quase a adormecer o balança
- Psio... -
Para cá, para lá...
Para cá e...
- O novelozinho caiu.

4. Hermione et les bergers
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Palès fait gazouiller la flûte sous ses doigts,
Mélène sous sa lèvre anime le hautbois,
Et chacun à son tour que la lutte stimule
Module un chant qui monte au fond du crépuscule ;
Hermione aux longs yeux de longs cils ombragés,
 ...

5. Jouis sans retard, car vite s'écoule la vie
 (Sung text)

Jouis sans retard, car vite s'écoule la vie...
Ah! ton désir folâtre at inquiet
S'évanouit comme la fumée...

 (Sung text)

Sur la petite place, au lever de l'aurore,
Le marché rit joyeux, bruyant, multicolore,
Pêle-mêle étalant sur ses tréteaux boiteux
 ...
