Num beco da Mouraria
Onde a alegria do Sol não vem
Morreu Maria Severa
Sabem quem era? Talvez ninguém
Uma voz sentida e quente
Que hoje á terra disse adeus
Voz saudosa, voz ausente
Mas que vive eternamente
Dentro em nós e junto a Deus
Além nos céus
Bem longe onde o luar e o azul tem mais luz
Eu vejo-a rezar aos pés duma cruz
Guitarras trinai, viradas pro céu
Fadistas chorai porque ela morreu
Caiu a noite na viela
Quando o olhar dela deixou de olhar
Partiu pra sempre vencida
Deixando a vida que a fez chorar
Deixa um filho idolatrado
Que outro afeto igual, não tem
Chama-se ele o triste fado
Que vai ser desajeitado
Se perdeu o maior bem
