Modinha
Language: Portuguese (Português)
No mar, as naus são errantes estrelas, sem guia, sem rota. Como a gaivota à flor das águas vão as caravelas... Lá ficam a vogar nas águas bailoçantes tristes ao marulhar das vagas soluçantes quebradas ao luar... Na vida as ilusões são como as velas em praia remota, sem guia, sem rota...
