Your Sunday Night Serenade: Aria from Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5

I am sharing a video that was recorded in recital at Neel Auditorium on the State College of Florida campus on October 15, 2010. I was introduced to the Heitor Villalobos' Aria from Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5 by my friend, guitarist Roman Vazquez. We perform it together in this video.

The translation of the Portuguese text:
Lo, at midnight clouds are slowly passing, rosy and lustrous,
o'er the spacious heaven with loveliness laden.
From the boundless deep the moon arises wondrous,
glorifying the evening like a beauteous maiden.
Now she adorns herself in half unconscious duty,
eager, anxious that we recognize her beauty,
while sky and earth, yea, all nature with applause salute her.
All the birds have ceased their sad and mournful complaining;
now appears on the sea in a silver reflection
moonlight softly waking the soul and constraining hearts to cruel tears
and bitter detection.
Lo, at midnight clouds are slowly passing rosy and lustrous o'er the spacious heavens dreamily wondrous.

"with loveliness laden" throughout this beautiful performance!
