Text and Translations
HEITOR VILLA LOBOS: Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5
Lyrics by Ruth V. Correa
In the evening, a dreamy, pretty cloud, slow and transparent, covers outer space with pink. In the infinite, the moon rises sweetly, beautifying the evening like a friendly girl who prepares herself and dreamily makes the evening beautiful. A soul anxious to be pretty shouts to the sky, the land, all of Nature. The birds silence themselves to her complaints, and the sea reflects all of her wealth. The gentle light of the moon now awakens the cruel saudade that laughs and cries. In the evening, a dreamy, pretty cloud, slow and transparent, covers outer space with pink.
