Foi nesta Lisboa figura de proa da nossa canção

Figura bizarra que ao som da guitarra o fado viveu

Vendia flores mas os seus amores jamais os vendeu

Ó Júlia florista tua linda história

Chinela no pé um ar de ralé um jeito de andar

Se a Júlia passava Lisboa parava para a ouvir cantar

No ar o pregão na boca a canção falando de amor

Encostado ao peito a graça e o jeito do cesto das flores
