“The sublime revenge of being happy”

composed and conducted by Paulo Chagas

performed by Illustrious Unknown Creative Ensemble

Branching voices

Recognizing the journey through the cypresses

Cold

Far to the city

Away people

(This dance is just for bugs)

Away the sun

Far from a beach of solitary existences

(Woodwind instruments dig a fictitious reunion)

Bitter does not identify

Flying here is the superiority of the dream.

The Swan will never know the silence

There’s also an immense joy

Forgotten between the lines

That makes us shiver

The sublime revenge of being happy

Infinity begins to be a natural thing

The only mystery is life.

Love

Delirium

The free vanishing of ideals

In meditation on the cosmos

Freedom lit

In a huge field of sunflowers

and growing cellos

There is still the sea

The heroic delight of adventure

Leave
