Quantos artistas
Entoam baladas
Para suas amadas
Com grandes orquestras
Como os invejo
Como os admiro
Eu, que te vejo
E nem quase respiro
Quantos poetas
Românticos, prosas
Exaltam suas musas
Com todas as letras
Eu te murmuro
Eu te suspiro
Eu, que soletro
Teu nome no escuro
Me escutas, Cecília?
Mas eu te chamava em silêncio
Na tua presença
Palavras são brutas
Pode ser que, entreabertos
Meus lábios de leve
Tremessem por ti
Mas nem as sutis melodias
Merecem, Cecília, teu nome
Espalhar por aí
Como tantos poetas
Tantos cantores
Tantas Cecílias
Com mil refletores
Eu, que não digo
Mas ardo de desejo
Te olho
Te guardo
Te sigo
Te vejo dormir
