Ade Ileke 48: Aurora (Dawn)



Eu ouço o canto do galo;
como eu sobrevivi à noite?
Eu ouço a música da aurora;
O, Orfeu, você joga uma vez mais!
--
I hear the rooster crow;
how have I survived the night?
I hear the music of dawn;
O, Orpheus, you play once more!


the story goes that Orpheus' music is what makes the sun rise at dawn; the child with the guitar above has taken the place of Orpheus gone to ensure that dawn and life goes on. It is from the film Black Orpheus, Orfeu Negre.
