Song information

Artist: Hayley Westenra
Album: Odyssey

Lyrics

Tarde uma nuvem rã³sea lenta e transparente
Sobre o espaã§o, sonhadora e bela!
Surge no infinito a lua docemente
Enfeitando a tarde, qual meiga donzela
Que se apresta e a linda sonhadoramente
Em anseios d'alma para ficar bela
Grita ao cã©u e a terra toda a natureza!
Cala a passarada aos seus tristes queixumes
E reflete o mar toda a sua riqueza..
Suave a luz da lua desperta agora
A cruel saudade que ri e chora!
Tarde uma nuvem rã³sea lenta e transparente
Sobre o espaã§o, sonhadora e bela!

Aria (from bachianas brasileiras no. 5)
(English translation)

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..
