O Menino
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Nuvens de tormenta, estrela-d'alva
Nunca venta, sempre lacre e breu
Nasce uma criança entre nós homens
O menino aguenta
O menino salva
O menino é eu
O menino sou eu
Nada vale, não, não vale nada
Tudo desde sempre se perdeu
Lágrimas no vale caem, somem
O menino nada
O menino homem
O menino é eu
O menino sou eu
Sangue escuro no meu coração
Noite sobre a terra e sobre o mar
Eis porém que vem essa criança
Eis a estrela-d'alva!
O menino salva as madrugadas
Nada contra a força da maré
Viro para o céu e olho na cara
O menino aguenta
O menino d'alva
O menino sou eu
O menino é eu
O menino é
