It is characterized by a melancholic melody set to the elegant and leisurely rhythm of the zamba, a regional folk dance music (distinct from the Brazilian samba). Just as the tension seems to rise due to a crescendo and chromatic ascent, the melody immediately descends, as if a maiden were sighing over unrequited love. In the middle section, there is a shift from melancholy, and the intensity increases as if the maiden were revealing her painful inner feelings. However, this passion does not last long. Nevertheless, after a coda resembling receding thunder, an unexpected dissonance is sounded, leaving a lingering impression that the maiden's suffering still smolders deep within her heart.
