Barcos lançados ao mar
Sonhos vão à procura
Redes que vão se jogar
Dentro da noite escura
E ficam à beira do cais
Uns olhos que vão chorar
E a perguntar por que a vida
Esconde os peixes no fundo do mar?
Tirana, Tirana
Por que a vida é assim?
Põe tudo longe de mim?
Tirana
Um dia o destino levou
Pra terras em Santa Cruz
E o menino chorou
Pedindo a Jesus
Que a nova terra lhe desse
O que acabou de deixar
Ai, como se não soubesse
De tanta saudade ele iria chorar
E o menino cresceu
E então parou de chorar
Foi o Brasil quem lhe deu
Os sonhos que foi buscar
Mas o destino outra vez
Esconde os peixes no mar
E ao regressar à terra,
Já não sabe aonde a saudade deixar
