Lua Branca [English translation]

Oh, white moon of radiant wonder

If it's true that you give sanctuary to love

Come and rid my eyes of these tears

Oh, come and kill this passion that follows me

Oh, by all means, come down from the sky, oh, white moon

This bitterness in my chest, oh, come, tear it out

Give me the moonlight of your compassion

Oh, come, by God, and light up my heart

So many times you'd appear to me up there in the sky

Shining in the calm and constellated night

And in your light you'd surprise me

While knelt before the feet of my beloved

She'd be crying, sobbing, filled with shame

You would come through her lips and offer me a sweet kiss

She's gone, just left me like this

O, white moon, by all means, take pity on me
