Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Sobre a frágua veio a Lua

Over the forge comes the Moon

Com seus babados de renda

With its lace frills

O menino mira, mira

The boy gazes, gazes

O menino a está mirando

The boy is watching her


No ar súbito, comovido

In the sudden air, moved

A Lua move seus braços

The Moon moves its arms

E mostra lúbrica e pura

And shows lascivious and pure

Os seios de duro estanho

The breasts of hard tin


Foge Lua, Lua, Lua

Run away, Moon, Moon, Moon


Se viessem os ciganos

If the gypsies came

Com teu coração fariam

They would make with your heart

Anéis e colares brancos

Rings and white necklaces

Oh, foge Lua, Lua, Lua

Oh, run away, Moon, Moon, Moon


Quando vierem os ciganos

When the gypsies come

Te acharão sobre a bigorna

They will find you on the anvil

Com teus olhinhos fechados

With your little eyes closed


Foge Lua, Lua, Lua

Run away, Moon, Moon, Moon

Que já sinto seus cavalos

For I already hear their horses


Deixe-me, filho, não pises

Leave me, son, do not step

O meu alvor engomado

On my starched whiteness


Vinha perto o cavaleiro

The knight was coming near

O tambor do chão tocando

The drum on the ground playing

E dentro da frágua o menino

And inside the forge, the boy

Tem seus olhinhos fechados

Has his little eyes closed


Pelo olival, bronze e sonho

Through the olive grove, bronze and dream

Eles vinham, os ciganos

They were coming, the gypsies

As cabeças para cima

Heads held high

E os olhos entrecerrados

And eyes half-closed


Foge Lua, Lua, Lua

Run away, Moon, Moon, Moon


E dentro da frágua choram

And inside the forge, they weep

Dando gritos, os ciganos

Screaming, the gypsies

O ar da noite vela, vela

The night air watches, watches

O ar da noite a está velando

The night air is watching her


Ai como canta a coruja

Oh, how the owl sings

Ai como canta no galho

Oh, how it sings on the branch

Através do céu a Lua

Through the sky, the Moon

Vai o menino levando

The boy is carrying her away


Foge Lua, Lua, Lua

Run away, Moon, Moon, Moon

Oh Lua, Lua, Lua, Lua, Lua, Lua

Oh Moon, Moon, Moon, Moon, Moon, Moon
