by Virgínia Victorino (1898 - 1967)

Aleluia
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Antes de te encontrar nem eu vivia
Nem mesmo sei dizer quem dantes era.
Andava atrás do sonho, da quimera,
procurava-se sempre e não te via.

Tu és o tronco. Eu sou a folha d'hera
Tu és na minha noite um claro dia.
Dás à minha tristeza uma alegria
Trazes ao meu inverno a primavera.

Esta paixão, sei lá porque m'a fazes...
Dá-me rosas, e cravos, e lilazes...
Eu quero a minha vida bem mudada.

Como se encontra o bem que se procura!
O meu passado esqueço-o: é noite escura.
Abro os olhos agora: é madrugada.
