Composer: Chiquinha Gonzaga
Version: Epic Church

Choosing this song was a very bold move, since I would have to make it in Epic Church style. Chiquinha Gonzaga was a composer who helped to popularize the Choro in Brazil. Choro and its artists started to be part of the soundtrack for Carnival parties, which I particularly don't appreciate in any way, but despite being a choro, Lua Branca is a romantic ballad, what made me choose it, despite the challenge.

lyrics

Oh, lua branca de fulgores e de encanto
Se é verdade que ao amor tu dás abrigo
Vem tirar dos olhos meus o pranto

Ai, vem matar essa paixão que anda comigo
Oh, por quem és desce do céu, oh lua branca
Essa amargura do meu peito, oh, vem, arranca

Dá-me o luar de tua compaixão
Oh, vem, por Deus, iluminar meu coração
E quantas vezes lá no céu me aparecias

A brilhar em noite calma e constelada
E em tua luz então me surpreendias
Ajoelhado junto aos pés da minha amada

E ela a chorar, a soluçar, cheia de pejo
Vinha em seus lábios me ofertar um doce beijo
Ela partiu, me abandonou assim
Ó, lua branca, por quem és, tem dó de mim
