Quem desligou o mortor da luz?
Ai, que aperto no meu coração!
O meu bem foi-se embora
E na noite lá fora
O mar agora só me diz não
Ai de quem vive na escuridão
Nunca vê o clarão de um prazer
Vida sem liberdade
Sombra de uma saudade
Resta uma só vontade: morrer
Sem amor onde é que eu vou chegar,
Se é o amor que nos guia e conduz?
Nunca andei tão perdida
Será minha esta vida?
Quem desligou o motor da luz?
