[English]

Vento sussurra histórias sem fim

A Lua dança num céu de cetim

Tão cheia de cor

Silêncio que canta um sutil esplendor

Luz na madrugada-da

Luz da madrugada-da, ah ah ah

'Gada-da

Luz da madrugada-da, ah ah ah

'Gada, vem me guiar

Passo sem pressa, onde vou parar?

Caminho perdido, mas quero ficar

Luz da madrugada, eu só quero sonhar, ah ah

Esqueletos no chão

Sombras que dançam sem direção

Mistério no ar

O tempo respira, me deixa vagar

Luz na madrugada-da

'Gada-da

'Gada, vem me guiar

Passo sem pressa, onde vou parar?

Luz na madrugada-da

'Gada-da

Caminho perdido, mas quero ficar

Luz da madrugada, eu só quero sonhar
