Liner Notes

@beto says: @donna sent me this beautiful postcard back in 2023 (!) for the #PostcardChallenge:



I decided to write something in the style of medieval Portuguese songs. I played my baritone #uke to my #Porta02 #4track #cassette recorder, recording 3 tracks, and sang these lyrics in a somewhat-archaic Portuguese style.

Donna sez: Oh, how lovely! The lyric, the music, and the performance. Thanks, Beto. (-:

Lyrics

Esperas por mim, ai Deus, como será?
No espelho te vês, mas só por mirar,
Pois um dia hei-de chegar.

E quando for tempo, e dia chegar,
No espelho não verás teu próprio olhar,
Mas lume de meu amar.

==

Translation:

You wait for me, oh God, how will it be?
In the mirror, you see yourself, but lost in gazing,
For one day, I shall arrive.

And when the time comes, and the day arrives,
In the mirror, you will not see your own gaze,
But the flame of my love.
