by Abílio Manuel Guerra Junqueiro (1850 - 1923)

Canção perdida
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Alguém de mim se não lembra,
Nas terras d'além do mar.
Oh morte dava-te a vida,
Se tu lh'a fosses levar.
 
O meu amor escondi-o
Numa cova ao pé do mar,
Morre o amor vive a saudade,
Morre o sol, olha o luar.
 
Quem dá ais oh rouxinol,
Lá para as bandas do mar?...
É o meu amor que na cova,
Leva as noites a chorar.
 
Oh meu amor, dorme, dorme,
Na areia fina do mar,
Que em antes da estrela d'alva,
Contigo me irei deitar.
