No meio da claridade
Daquele tão triste dia
Grande, grande era a cidade
E ninguém me conhecia
Rostos, carros, movimentos
Traziam noite e segredo
Só eu me sentia lento
E avançava quase a medo
Só a saudade da pátria
Longínqua, me acompanhava
Quisera voltar à serra
E ouvir o vento e a água brava
Quisera voltar ao bosque
Onde sei que sou lembrado
Voltar às leiras de Afife
E ouvir a canção tão mansa
Do pastor que guarda o gado
Mas nas ruas sinuosas
Ainda o rumor crescera
E eu contemplava assombrado
Minhas mãos ontem com rosas
Minhas mãos hoje de cera
Então passaram por mim
Uns olhos lindos depois
Julguei sonhar vendo enfim
Dois olhos como há só dois
Em todos os meus sentidos
Tive presságios de adeus
E os olhos logo perdidos
Afastaram-se dos meus
Acordei e a claridade
Fez-se maior e mais fria
Grande, grande era a cidade
E ninguém me conhecia
