Canção do Siriry (ciranda)
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Crianças na rua estão a cantar:
"Vem cá, vem cá, vem cá,
Siriry, as moças te chamam,
Tu não queres vir..."
Recordo então, a ingênua canção
Com que a brincar chamava por ti.
Guardando a alma da noite
Na treva mansa do olhar
Tua cabeça morena,
Tal como era em pequena,
Evocada por meus sonhos
Ficou passando na vida
Ao léu da sorte perdida
Como na roda a cantar...
Um dia lá no infinito
Quando as crianças cantarem
Nossa emotiva canção,
Eu te verei a chorar
Por que mesmo sendo estrela
A alma da gente vela
Onde a saudade na terra
Ficou para recordar!...
