Many years ago
Many years ago on the island of Terceira, in the Azores, a young noblewoman was forced to marry a man her father had chosen. However, her heart belonged to a house slave. Despite the conventions of the time prohibiting such love, the two secretly fell in love. When the husband found out, he had the slave arrested. He fled through the hills, but when he found himself cornered, his tears of sadness gave rise to a lake. Pursued by hunting horses, the slave jumped into the lake and drowned. The lagoon became known as the "Lagoa do Negro" and is located on the island of Terceira, in the Azores.
