Foi muito triste aquele domingo
Em que fomos à praia pela primeira vez.
As ondas bravias seu canto entoavam,
Onde tantas pessoas ali também estavam.
(Mas, eis que de repente, vi alguém desesperado,
Gritando por socorro ali do nosso lado) 2x
Saí, bem depressa, sem nada entender,
Na beirada da praia eu logo pude ver
Alguém se afogando naquele instante,
Gritando e acenando, cada vez mais distante.
(Aos poucos, eu vi nas águas se verter
Aquela mão que acenava e nada eu pude fazer.) 2x
Foi muito triste. É o destino, eu sei...
Mas, ali naquela praia nunca mais eu voltarei.
Ali naquela praia nunca mais eu voltarei.
