FOGO DE ARTIFICIO!

                                     Chovem estrelas,
                                     Ilumina-se o céu,
                                     Há gritos
                                     E cânticos no ar,
                                     Votos felizes,
                                     Juras de amor,
                                     Mágoas adiadas
                                     E adia-se a dor!
                                     A festa,
                                     Dá volta ao mundo
                                     Porque o ano mudou!
                                     Morre o velho,
                                     Nasce o novo,
                                     No ritual profundo
                                     Do tempo que corre,
                                     E da vida que resta!
