Quando eu ainda estava moço
Algum pressentimento
Me trazia volta e meia
Por aqui
Talvez à espera da garota
Que naquele tempo
Andava longe,muito longe
De existir
Tantos tristes fados eu compus
Quanto choro em vão,bolero blues
Eis que do nada ela aparece
Com o vestido ao vento
Já tão desejada
Que não cabe em si
Neste crucial momento
Neste cruzamento
Se ela olhar para trás
É bem capaz de num lamento
Acudir ao meu olhar mendigo
Mas aquela ingrata corre
E a Barão da Torre e a Vinícius de Moraes
São de repente estranhas ruas
Sem o seu vestido ficam nuas
E ao vento eu digo
-tarde demais
Quando ela já não mais garota
Der a meia-volta
Claro que não vou estar mais nem aí
