Lua Branca

Oh, white Moon of brightness and charm
If it's true that you give love a shelter
Ah, come take the tears out of my eyes
Oh, come kill this passion that haunts me

Oh, for whom you are, come down from the sky, oh white Moon
Take this bitterness away from my chest, oh, come and pull it out!
Give me the moonlight of your compassion
Ah, come, for God, illuminate my heart

And how many times, up in the sky, you appeared to me
Shining on a calm and starry night
And in your light, then, you would surprise me
Kneeling by the feet of my beloved

And she, crying, sobbing, full of shame
Would come to offer me a sweet kiss on her lips
She left, abandoned me like this
Oh, white Moon, for whom you are, have mercy on me!
