The Chinese language and literature course at the Faculty of Philosophy, Letters and Human Sciences at the University of São Paulo provided a plunge into classical literature and evolved into a translation of this poem of the 10th century by +Li Yu , which then became lyrics in partnership with Fabio Golfetti in 1985.

Autumn:

On the way towards the hidden house
Desolate the sun sets in the west
Moon on hook, sadness, sounds of wind
Part my sad old heart, the autumn cold

Singing from the extreme of the world
Waiting in deep silent cold

In the evening garden just oblivion
Old tree awaits the judgment day
Nothing could explain my broken feelings
It is in my heart, the autumn cold

Singing from the extreme of the world
Waiting in deep silent cold

from + Violeta de Outono, released July 7, 1987
