Luz de vela, pálida e mortiça
Que ilumina o altar na santa missa
E timidamente aclara os barracões
Luz de vela que ao tempo que não vem mais
Iluminou também os castiçais
As salas luxuosas das mansões
Luz de vela, ajudas numa prece
O coração de quem sofre merece
A solução divina ao seu pedido
Luz de vela que se vê na encruzilhada
Junto ao despacho à noite na calçada
Para ajudar a quem se viu perdido
Velas vagando com a procissão
Velas que pedem por velas no mar
Velas que velam quando o coração
Para de vez e não quer mais pulsar
Esta luzinha fraca e persistente
É a esperança vã de toda a gente
Que a brisa passa e apaga num repente
Esta luzinha fraca e persistente
É a esperança vã de toda a gente
Que a brisa passa e apaga num repente
