This piece emerged from the silent space between doubt and reason. I imagined a duel not fought with blades, but with pride, wit, and unanswered questions. While the jesters laugh and the queens reply, the melody follows their steps. It is a dance of madness and grace, where even the brave hesitate. The music is part of my first book, where the truth is often found between the lines.

Reason and Grace - Opus 2 – Andante

"Will you come to the duel at break of day?"
Asks the brave with his sword in hand.
"Yes, if the sun isn't late," comes the mocking reply,
From one who won't take a stand.

The valiant hides his courage away,
While the crowd laughs as he walks astray.

Oh life! A duel of wit and chance,
The sun observes but won't advance.
Which weighs more when the glasses clink?
Friend or wine when the third cup's drunk?

A man once posed with mocking tone,
To she who sat on wisdom's throne:
"How can you be wise at all,
When you're but woman - weak and small?"

Her eyes like tempered steel grew bright,

"How comes a fool with ears to hear,
With working brain yet empty cheer?
The sun may judge both great and small -
But wisdom wears no crown at all."

The fool seems wise when he holds his tongue,
But shows his stripes when his speech is flung.

Oh life! A duel of wit and chance,
The sun observes but won't advance.
Which weighs more when the glasses clink?
Friend or wine when the third cup's drunk?

The king asks his jester so fine,
"Which is harder for men to find?
Good wine or friend to call your own?"
"Friend!" he laughs, "For wine can't whine!"

Oh life! A duel of wit and chance,
The sun observes but won't advance.
Which weighs more when the glasses clink?
Friend or wine when the third cup's drunk?

The brave still wait for morning's light,
Their courage drowned in endless night.

Akletto is an eclectic musical space where old melodies are reborn with a new soul.

Akletto, created by Alfredo Borges — writer and classical-ballet choreographer — each piece blends tradition with innovation.

All lyrics and arrangements are his, with AI-generated vocals and instruments under his direction.

Akletto invites listeners into a sensitive journey through time, awakening imagination and emotion.

Its music echoes Romanesque chapels, medieval taverns, and Renaissance halls.

Many works are inspired by Borges’s original fairy tales, where myth and melody entwine.

Akletto is also a unique musical style — where the past speaks again, soulfully and timelessly.

From this side of the story, we’ll be truly grateful.
