Aria (Cantilena)

Heitor Villa-Lobos

Evening, a rosy, slow and transparent cloud

Over the space dreamy and beautiful

The Moon sweetly appears in the horizon,

Decorating the afternoon like a nice damsel

Who rushes and dreamy adorns herself

With an anxious soul to become beautiful

Shout all Nature to the Sky and to the Earth!

All birds become silent to the Moon's complains

And the Sea reflects its great splendor.

Softly, the shining Moon just awakes

The cruel missing that laughs and cries.

Evening, a rosy, slow and transparent cloud

Over the space dreamy and beautiful...
