Tarde uma nuvem rósea lenta e transparente.
Sobre o espaço, sonhadora e bela!
Surge no infinito a lua docemente,
Enfeitando a tarde, qual meiga donzela
Que se apresta e alinda sonhadoramente,
Em anseios d’alma para ficar bela
Grita ao céu e a terra toda a Natureza!

Cala a passarada aos seus tristes queixumes
E reflete o mar toda a Sua riqueza…
Suave a luz da lua desperta agora
A cruel saudade que ri e chora!
Tarde uma nuvem rósea lenta e transparente
Sobre o espaço, sonhadora e bela!

Ricardo Villalobos is a Chilean-born German electronic music producer and DJ. Villalobos was born in Chile but moved to Germany with his family to escape the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, who had seized power in 1973.

Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens (A Symphony of Horror) is a 1922 German Expressionist horror film, directed by F. W. Murnau, starring Max Schreck as the vampire Count Orlok.

The film was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, so various names and other details were changed, vampire became Nosferatu and Count Dracula became Count Orlok.

Stoker’s heirs sued over the adaptation, and a court ruling ordered that all copies of the film be destroyed.

However, a few prints of Nosferatu survived, and the film came to be regarded as an influential masterpiece of cinema.
