FLOWERS FROM THE HEART

=====================================================================

For Isaura´s birthday.

13th - 5 - 1949

Under the light of a brilliant comet,
There, in the sky a sparkle spreaded
And rised that smiling day
In which Isaura in the earth arrived.

A pure and beautiful red glow was formed
And it broke a fresh morning,
Because the dawn in its so sweet gesture
Brought Isaura tender and gratious.

On that day, Izabel, the Princess,
Under flowers and applause, go ahead...
Decreed with love and nobility:
Golden law that the delirious Brazil,
To the captives the handcuffs removed...

It was on May 13th, that history,
So beautiful that the world told!
Another history I tell you without glory:
There was a sun that the destiny turned off...
And never, in the horizon it shone...

Nostalgia I bring in the chest,
Nostalgia in the heart,
White or lilac that it be,
Nostalgia, it always is!
