Uma moça
De lá do outro lado da poça
Numa aparição transatlântica
Me encheu de elegante alegria
(Ai, Portugal, ovos moles, Aveiro)
Menina da Ria
Menina da Ria
Menina da Ria
E uma preta
(Parece que eu estou na Bahia)
Tão Linda quanto ela, dizia
No seu português lusitano:
"Pode o Caetano tirar uma foto?"
Menina da Ria
Menina da Ria
Menina da Ria
Arte Nova, um prédio art-nouveau numa margem
Em frente à marina-miragem:
Os barcos na Ria. E depois
Uma taça sobre o pubis glabro, um estudo
Nenhum descalabro se tudo
É sexo sem sexo em nós dois
Menina da Ria
Menina da Ria
Menina da Ria
