Lanterna dos Afogados is a Brazilian MPB song written by Herbert Vianna and originally released in 1989 by Os Paralamas do Sucesso, from their 1988 album Bora Bora. The lyrics tell a story of darkness and waiting, offering a beacon in the tunnel of the desperate and a promise to help the one in need. The tune is associated with Vianna and has appeared in solo releases and compilations such as Moska Apresenta Zoombido: Herbert Vianna - Single, and it has been performed in collaborations like a version with Gal Costa.
