by João de Deus Ramos (1830 - 1896)

Ora dize‑me a verdade
 (Sung text for setting by A. Nepomuceno)
 Matches original text
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Ora dize-me a verdade:
Tu já sentiste por mim
Uma sombra de saudade,
De amor, de ciúme, enfim

Uma impressão que indicasse
Haver em teu coração
Fibra, corda que vibrasse
À minha recordação?

Parece, mas o contrário;
Sim, o que devo supor
É deserto e solitário
O teu coração d'amor.

Não digo por outro; Invejo
Talvez a sorte d'alguém,
Mas o qu'eu sei, o qu'eu vejo,
É que me não queres bem.

    Set to music by Alberto Nepomuceno (1864 - 1920), "Ora dize-me a verdade", op. 12 no. 1 (1894) [ voice and piano ], Rio de Janeiro: Vieira Machado
