Velas no mar vão deixando passar
A tarde anil e outras ondas vem levar ah
Sempre existe na mágoa doce murmúrio dum triste amor
Ah ah ah
Quanta tristeza,ondas do mar
Neste vai-e-vem sem me levar
Pois sempre eu fiz,muita tensão
Em não pisar teu coração
Longe no céu vai a onda a jogar
Tudo o que é meu dentro do mar
Vem me esperar ah
Lua,lua branquinha
Lua crescente vem devagar
Quanta tristeza,ondas do mar
Neste vai-e-vem sem me levar
Pois sempre eu fiz,muita tensão
Em não pisar teu coração
Longe no céu vai a onda a jogar
Tudo o que é meu dentro do mar
Vem me esperar ah
Lua,lua branquinha
Lua crescente vem devagar
