Dentro da noite
Language: Portuguese (Português)
Our translations: ENG
Dentro da noite a vida canta E esgarça névoas ao luar... Fosco minguante o vale encanta. Morreu pecando alguma santa... A água não pára de chorar. Há um amavio esparso no ar... Donde virá ternura tanta?... Paira um sossego singular Dentro da noite... Sinto no meu violão vibrar A alma penada de uma infanta Que definhou do mal de amar... Ouve... Dir-se-ia uma garganta Súplice, triste, a soluçar Dentro da noite...
