Raízes

Velhas pedras que pisei
Saiam da vossa mudez
Venham dizer o que sei
Venham falar português
Sejam duras como a lei
E puras como a nudez.
Minha lágrima salgada
Caíu no lenço da vida
Foi lembrança naufragada
E para sempre perdida
Foi vaga despedaçada
Contra o cais da despedida.
Visitei tantos países
Conheci tanto luar
Nos olhos dos infelizes
E porque me hei-de gastar?
Vou ao fundo das raízes
E hei-de gastar-me a cantar.
