“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
