Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5 (for soprano and 8 cellos): I. Aria (Cantilena): Adagio
Brazilian Bachianas No. 5 (for soprano and 8 cellos): I. Aria (Cantilena): Adagio
Tarde, uma nuvem rósea, lenta e transparente.
Evening, a pink cloud, slow and transparent.
sobre o espaço, sonhadora e bela!
Over the space, dreamy and beautiful!
Surge no infinito a lua docemente,
In the infinity the moon arises sweetly,
enfeitando a tarde, qual meiga donzela
Decorating the evening, qual soft maiden
que se apresta e a linda sonhadoramente,
That prepares herself and the beautiful dreamer,
em anseios d'alma para ficar bela
In soul aspirations to stay beautiful
grita ao céu e a terra, toda a Natureza!
Yells to the sky and to the land, all Nature!
Cala a passarada aos seus tristes queixumes
The bird stops its sad whines
e reflete o mar toda a Sua riqueza...
And the sea reflects all its wealth...
Suave a luz da lua desperta agora
Softly the moon's light wakes now
a cruel saudade que ri e chora!
The cruel longing that laughs and cries!
Tarde, uma nuvem rósea lenta e transparente
Evening, a pink cloud, slow and transparent
sobre o espaço, sonhadora e bela!
Over the space, dreamy and beautiful!
