Lua Branca

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

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

And how many times, up in the sky, you appeared to me,
Shining in a calm and starry night.
And in your light, 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!
