Três ciclos de 4 canções I

Song Cycle by Ernst Widmer (1927 - 1990)

1. A criança  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Portuguese (Português) 
A criança que fui chora na estrada.
Deixei-a ali quando vim ser quem sou;
Mas hoje, vendo que o que sou é nada,
Quero ir buscar quem fui onde ficou.

Ah, como hei-de encontrá-lo? Quem errou
A vinda tem a regressão errada.
Já não sei de onde vim nem onde estou.
De o não saber, minha alma está parada.

Se ao menos atingir neste lugar
Um alto monte, de onde possa enfim
O que esqueci, olhando-o, relembrar,

Na ausência, ao menos, saberei de mim,
E, ao ver-me tal qual fui ao longe, achar
Em mim um pouco de quando era assim.

2. 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.

  • by Manuel Bandeira (1886 - 1968), "Cantiga"

3. A imagem e a realidade  [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.
