Lembrança boa
Language: Portuguese (Português)
Lembrança boa, Carrego comigo tua mão O calor exausto Oprime estas ruas Que nem a tua boca pesada. As igrejas oscilam Por cima dos homens de branco, E as sombras despencam inúteis Das botinas, passo a passo. O que me esconde É o momento suave Com que as casas velhas São róseas, morenas, Na beira do rio. Dir-se-ía que há madressilvas No cais antigo... Me sinto suavíssimo de madressilvas Na beira do rio.
