REI DO AZAR !

                                      Passou
                                      Ao lado
                                      Da vida,
                                      Andou
                                      À frente
                                      Da morte,
                                      A vergonha
                                      Foi causa perdida,
                                      O amôr
                                      Nasceu falido,
                                      A fortuna
                                      Nunca existiu
                                      E tambem
                                      Tinha escrito
                                      No fado,
                                      Que jamais
                                      Teria sorte!
                                       Viveu assim
                                       O desgraçado,
                                       Numa casa
                                       Sem telhado,
                                       Sem janela,
                                       Nem jardim!
                                       Até
                                       No dia da morte
                                       Já no sono profundo,
                                       Lhe foi negado
                                       O passaporte
                                       Para entrar
                                       No outro mundo!
                                       Quem seria
                                       O desgraçado?
