Porque foste na vida
A última esperança
Encontrar-te me fez criança
Porque já eras meu
Sem eu saber sequer
Porque és o meu homem
E eu tua mulher
Porque tu me chegaste
Sem me dizer que vinhas
E tuas mãos foram minhas com calma
Porque foste em minh'alma
Como um amanhecer
Porque foste o que tinha de ser
