Na pequena capelinha
Da aldeia velha e branquinha
Dei à Maria da Luz
Uma cruz de pôr ao peito
E um juramento foi feito
Pelos dois, sobre essa cruz
Juro ser tua: Disse-me ela
Eu disse: Juro ser teu
Pelos vitrais da capela
Entrava a bênção do céu
Passavam-se os meses, o tempo corria
E todas as vezes que eu via a Maria sózinha e menina
Dizia-lhe assim: Maria da Luz
Tu és para mim, o sinal da cruz, da cruz pequenina
Mas um dia, há sempre um dia
Que nos rouba a fantasia
Maria entrou na capela
Esquiva, pé ante pé
E o meu símbolo de fé
Não brilhava ao peito dela
Quis perguntar-lhe p’la jura
Porém, de fé já perdida
Vi que não vinha segura
Tinha outra cruz na vida
Passaram-se os meses, o tempo corria
E todas as vezes, que eu via a Maria, com más companhias
Dizia-lhe assim: Maria da luz
Tu és para mim, o sinal da cruz, da cruz dos meus dias
