Fiz-me ao mar com lua cheia
A esse mar de ruas e cafés
Com vagas de olhos a rolar
Que nem me viam no convés
Tão cegas no seu vogar
E assim fui na monção
Perdido na imensidão
Deparei com uma ilha
Uma pequena maravilha
Meio submersa
Resistindo à toada
Deu-me dois dedos de conversa
Já cheia de andar calada
Tinha um olhar acanhado
E uma blusa azul-grená
Com o botão desapertado
E por dentro tão ousado
Um peito sem soutien
Ancoramos num rochedo
Sacudimos o sal e o medo
Falámos de música e cinema
Lia fernando pessoa
E às vezes também fazia um poema
E no cabelo vi-lhe conchas
E na boca uma pérola a brilhar
Despiu o olhar de defesa
Pôs-me o mapa sobre a mesa
Deu-me conta dessas ilhas
Arquipélagos ao luar
Com os areais estendidos
Contra a cegueira do mar
Esperando veleiros perdidos
