about

The sky, the earth. A sonnet by Portugal's greatest poet, 16th century writer Luís de Camões, becomes a fisherman's song, a request that the sea return his drowned lover.

lyrics

O céu, a terra, o vento sossegado
As ondas, que se estendem pela areia
Os peixes, que no mar o sono enfreia
O nocturno silêncio repousado

O pescador Aónio, que deitado
Onde co vento a agua se meneia
Chorando o nome amado em vão nomeia
Que não pode ser mais que nomeado

Ondas dezia, antes que amor me mate,
Tomai-me a minha ninfa, que tão cedo
Mi fizestes a morte estar sujeita

Ninguém lhe fala, o mar de longe bate
Move-se brandamente o arvoredo
Leva-lhe o vento a voz, que ao vento deita
