Rio largo de profundis
Uma neta pra nascer
Amor avenidas novas
Praça de Londres a arder
Não quero martelo e rima
Aqui no Largo da Graça
Quero ficar onde estou
Para salvar a quem passa
João, Francisco, Maria,
Cada qual um nome tem
Quando vos deu os bons dias
Ninguém responde a ninguém
Venha duma outra vontade
Lá eu soubera dizer
Amor avenidas novas
Praça de Londres a arder
