Luar de Janeiro

A lyrical tapestry unfolds under the cold glow of a January moon, inviting listeners into a world where light and shadow converse in whispered verses. The poet’s voice drifts through Lisbon’s winter streets, weaving images of frosted windows, quiet convents, and the distant echo of a child’s sigh. Each fragment feels like a candle flickering against the night, offering both comfort and a hint of melancholy.

The collection balances personal yearning with broader reflections on a society caught between mysticism and modern doubt. Poetic sketches of a forlorn boy Jesus, the hush of an empty monastery, and the ache of unspoken love reveal a deep empathy for the marginalized and the dream‑weary. The language moves between Portuguese and French, echoing the restless search for meaning that defined the early twentieth‑century spirit.

Rendered in a musical cadence, the verses invite you to linger on the delicate interplay of memory and desire. Listening feels like stepping into a moonlit courtyard, where every line glimmers with quiet wonder and the promise of lingering contemplation.
