Vida, minha vida
Olha o que é que eu fiz
Deixei a fatia
Mais doce da vida
Na mesa dos homens
De vida vazia
Mas, vida, ali
Quem sabe, eu fui feliz
Vida, minha vida
Olha o que é que eu fiz
Verti minha vida
Nos cantos, na pia
Na casa dos homens
De vida vadia
Mas, vida, ali
Quem sabe, eu fui feliz
Luz, quero luz,
Sei que além das cortinas
São palcos azuis
E infinitas cortinas
Com palcos atrás
Arranca, vida
Estufa, veia
E pulsa, pulsa, pulsa,
Pulsa, pulsa mais
Mais, quero mais
Nem que todos os barcos
Recolham ao cais
Que os faróis da costeira
Me lancem sinais
Arranca, vida
Estufa, vela
Me leva, leva longe
Longe, leva mais
Vida, minha vida
Olha o que é que eu fiz
Toquei na ferida
Nos nervos, nos fios
Nos olhos dos homens
De olhos sombrios
Mas, vida, ali
Eu sei que fui feliz
