about
This is a love song in Portuguese sung by boy who lives on the sertão, which is a rather barren-looking, semi-arid plain in Brazil’s interior highlands. The girl in the song has moved away, and the boy, lamenting the fact that the girl is gone, dispatches a sertão bluebird to fly to her and tell her how much he misses her.
Noted Brazilian 20th century poet Manuel Bandeira wrote the lyrics for this song, which is a “modhina,” a Brazilian romantic art song that became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries.
lyrics
Vai, Azulão, Azulão companheiro, vai!
Vai ver minha ingrata, diz que sem ela
O sertão náo é mais sertão! Ai! Vão a Azulão
Vai contar companheiro, vai!
Fly bluebird, friend, fly to my long lost love,
Say that without her this barren land’s not the same since she said goodbye,
Ah, fly bluebird, friend, go and tell her, my bluebird fly.
