Eu vejo aquele rio a deslizar
O tempo a atravessar meu vilarejo
E às vezes largo
O afazer
Me pego em sonho
A navegar
Com o nome Paciência
Vai a minha embarcação
Pendulando como o tempo
E tendo igual destinação
Pra quem anda na barcaça
Tudo, tudo passa
Só o tempo não
Passam paisagens furta-cor
Passa e repassa o mesmo cais
Num mesmo instante eu vejo a flor
Que desabrocha e se desfaz
Essa é a tua música
É tua respiração
Mas eu tenho só teu lenço
Em minha mão
Olhando meu navio
O impaciente capataz
Grita da ribanceira
Que navega pra trás
No convés, eu vou sombrio
Cabeleira de rapaz
Pela água do rio
Que é sem fim
E é nunca mais
