Love Songs (first series)

Song Cycle by Cláudio Franco de Sá Santoro (1919 - 1989)

View original-language texts alone: Canções de Amor (1a série)

1. Ouve o silêncio
 (Sung text)
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Cala, ouve o silêncio, ouve o silêncio 
Que nos fala tristemente desse amor
Que não podemos ter
Não fala, fala baixinho
Diz bem de leve um segredo
Um verso de esperança em nosso amor
Não ó meu amor!
Canta a beleza de viver!
Saúda o sol e a alegria de amar
Em nossa grande solidão!

2. Acalanto da Rosa
 (Sung text)
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Dorme a estrela do céu
Dorme a rosa em seu jardim
Dorme a lua no mar
Dorme o amor dentro de mim 
É preciso pisar leve
Ai, é preciso não falar

Meu amor se adormece
Quão suave é o seu perfume
Dorme em paz rosa pura
O teu sono não tem fim

2. Lullaby of the Rose
Language: English 
 A star sleeps in the sky, 
 The rose sleeps in its garden
 The moon rests in the sea,
 Love sleeps inside of me.
 You must tread softly, 
 Ah, you must not speak.
 
 My love is slumbering,
 How sweet is her perfume,
 Sleep in peace, pure rose,
 Your slumber has no end.

4. Balada da flor da terra
 (Sung text)
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Nem a luz da lua na tarde
Nem a onda do mar quando ela vem
Nem a flor do céu quando se abre
Têm a graça de você
Meu amor é bonita é bonita
Ai que aroma o corpo do meu bem
Ai que negros são os seus cabelos
Meu bem, não vá mais embora 
Não me deixe por favor
Sem meu bem eu me morro 
Eu me morro de amor.

5. Amor que partiu
 (Sung text)
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Dor de querer quem não vem
Dor de viver sem seu bem
Oh, dor que perdoa ninguém
Meu amor não tem compaixão
Partiu, ó flor, paixão
Amor que partiu
Tem dó de mim
Assim sem meu bem, 
Oh, vem perto de mim
Que sofro na solidão
Tão triste dor.

5. Love that's gone
Language: English 
 Pain of wishing who is not coming
 Pain of living without your love
 Oh, pain which forgives nobody
 My love has no mercy
 She left, oh flower, passion,
 Love that's gone
 Have mercy of me
 This way, without my beloved,
 Oh, come close to me
 Who suffers in this solitude
 Such sad pain.
