Passos da noite
Ao romper do dia
Quantos se ouviram
Marchando a par
Batem porta
Da hospedaria
Se for o vento
Manda-o entrar
Vejo uma espada
De sombra esguia
Se for o vento
Que venha s
Quem est l fora
Traz companhia
Botas cardadas
Levantam p
Venho de longe
Sem luz nem guia
Sou estrangeiro
No sou ningum
Na flor queimada
Na cinza fria
Nunca se passa
Uma noite bem
Foge estrangeiro
Da morte escura
Pega nas armas
Vem batalhar
E enquanto a lua
No se habitua
Dorme ao relento
At eu voltar
H muito tempo
Que te no via
(Um anjo negro
Me vem tentar)
Batem a porta
Da hospedaria
aqui mesmo
Que eu vou ficar
José Manuel Cerqueira Afonso dos Santos, in arte Zeca Afonso (Lisbona, 1929 – Lisbona, 1987), è stato uno dei cantautori più influenti del Portogallo. Considerato un'icona della musica popolare portoghese, ha intrecciato la sua musica con temi sociali e politici, diventando voce di una generazione in cerca di libertà e giustizia sociale. Afonso ha iniziato la sua carriera negli anni '50, collaborando con diverse orchestre e gruppi musicali. Nel 1964 ha pubblicato il suo primo album, "O Homem da Meia Noite", che lo ha lanciato sulla scena musicale portoghese. Le sue canzoni, spesso caratterizzate da melodie orecchiabili e testi incisivi, hanno affrontato temi come la povertà, l'oppressione politica e la lotta per i diritti civili. Tra le sue canzoni più famose ricordiamo "Grândola, Vila Morena", "A Minha Casa", "O Homem da Meia Noite" e "E Depois do Adeus". Afonso ha continuato a pubblicare album di successo fino alla sua morte nel 1987. La sua musica continua ad essere ascoltata e apprezzata in Portogallo e all'estero, rendendolo un vero e proprio patrimonio culturale nazionale.
