Somos filhos da madrugada
Pelas praias do mar nós vamos
À procura de quem nos traga
Verde oliva de flor nos ramos
Navegamos de vaga em vaga
Não soubemos de dor nem mágoa
Pelas praia do mar nós vamos
À procura da manhã clara
Lá de cima de uma montanha
Acendemos uma fogueira
Para não se apagar a chama
Que dá vida na noite inteira
Mensageira pomba chamada
Companheira da madrugada
Quando a noite vier que venha
Cá de cima de uma montanha
Onde o vento cortou amarras
Largaremos p'la noite fora
Onde há sempre uma boa estrela
Noite e dia ao romper da aurora
Vira a proa minha galera
Que a vitória já não espera
Fresca, brisa, moira encantada
Vira a proa da minha barca
