O Arco do Violino
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
O arco do violino apontou-me o coração 
longamente os olhos dela rasgaram-me o peito 
e o arco do violino dançou, dançou, dançou no meu coração, 
rasgando a dança macabra da vitória triste. 
Os olhos dela viam serenos o meu coração rasgado - 
mas porque não pára a música mas porque se não fecham olhos? - 
o meu coração rasgado e o papel da música 
que toca o arco, olhos dela.
