O homem que na sala jogava
calava as palavras para dentro
e numa partida imaginava
um mundo a girar livre e diferente
Em fundo as notícias confirmavam
Outra sonda perdida no tempo
Fome, guerra, rastos de outras tramas
Imagens do seu olhar atento
Muito tarda a vida a ensinar
Vermelho a poente, de repente
xeque ao rei, será mate por fim?
tomba uma peça à sua frente
numa dança inquieta , em frenesim
Faz de casa em casa o tabuleiro
vai sozinho na sua aventura
lá fora passou um aguaceiro
como um leve sonho que perdura
Muito tarda a vida a ensinar
