Maria Triste

Tinha um xaile sobre os ombros encurvados
E um sorriso a traír a sua idade
Nos seus olhos meios tristes e enrugados
Tinha a sombra atormentada da saudade
Sobre os pés que se arrastavam mal calçados
O seu corpo deformado p’la idade
Sem pudor se deu a vida
Num destino encruzilhado
Maria triste cumpriu seu fado
Foi a mãe de quatro filhos e o fado
O sustento a sustentar-lhe a pobre vida
O seu homem de feitio endiabrado
Foi levado ainda novo, á flor da vida
Quatro filhos deixou ele a seu cuidado
E o alento a suavizar-lhe a alma ferida
Sua voz nocturna sombra esmaecida
Paira ainda com encanto perfumado
Na memória dos poetas, cuja a vida
Partilhou num timbre intenso e magoado
E nas noites da cidade adormecida
Há quem pense ouvir-lhe a voz cantando um fado
