Velas
Gilberto Nascimento e Humberto de Almeida
VELAS
Letra: Humberto de Almeida
Música: Gilberto Nascimento
Leva-me, vela-me
Leva-me, vela
Vela-me
Barco solto sobre o mar
Leva-me assim nordestino
Onda do leve destino
Leve me enleva no ar
Leva-me, vela-me
Leva-me vela
Vela-me
Sigo o barco a navegar
Livre, belo passarinho
Seguir, vou sempre sozinho
Marcas não ficam no mar
Por esses mares infindos
Nunca dantes navegados
Marinheiro estou partindo
Capitão serei saudado
Pois eu volto amigo vento
Na volta que a onda dá
E peço que vele-me, leve-me vela
De volta pro meu lugar
