Porque foste
Na vida
A última
Esperança
Encontrar-te
Me fez criança
Porque
Já eras minha
Sem eu
Saber sequer
Porque és
A minha mulher
E eu
Teu homem
Porque tu
Me chegaste
Sem me dizer
Que vinhas
E tuas mãos
Foram minhas
Com calma
Porque foste
Em minh'alma
Como
Um amanhecer
Porque foste
O que tinha
De ser
