A menina de minha cidade
Meiga e pura filha de maria
Entre os dedos trazia um rosário
E uma cruz do pescoço pendia
Hoje a encontro tão longe e sem rumo
A sofrer nesta rua perdida
Tendo aos ombros a cruz do pecado
Desfiando o rosário da vida
Eu que tanto implorei por teus beijos
Hoje vendes barato e eu não quero
Eu não fico na fila e não compro
Um carinho que há tempo eu espero
Onde está teu livrinho de reza
Onde está o teu branco vestido
Aos domingos voltando da missa
Era um anjo do espaço caído
Hoje as contas do novo rosário
São de prantos que a vida lhe deu
Onde os dedos do tempo desfiam
Seu passado feliz que morreu
