Lyrics
Prece
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.
Senhor, a noite veio e a alma é vil.
Tanta foi a tormenta e a vontade!
Restam-nos hoje, no silêncio hostil,
O mar universal e a saudade.
Mas a chama, que a vida em nós criou,
Se ainda há vida ainda não é finda.
O frio morto em cinzas a ocultou:
A mão do vento pode erguê-la ainda.
Dá o sopro, a aragem - ou desgraça, ou ânsia -
Com que a chama do esforço se remoça,
E outra vez conquistemos a distância
Do mar ou outra, mas que seja nossa!
