Branquinha
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Eu sou apenas um velho baiano
Um fulano, um caetano, um mano qualquer
Vou contra a via, canto contra a melodia
Nado contra a maré
Que é que tu vê, que é que tu quer,
Tu que é tão rainha?
Branquinha
Carioca de luz própria, luz
Só minha
Quando todos os seus rosas nus
Todinha
Carnação da canção que compus
Quem conduz
Vem, seduz
Este mulato franzino, menino
Destino de nunca ser homem, não
Este macaco complexo
Este sexo equívoco
Este mico-leão
Namorando a lua e repetindo:
A lua é minha
Branquinha
Pororoquinha, guerreiro é
Rainha
De janeiro, do Rio, do onde é
Sozinha
Mão no leme, pé no furacão
Meu irmão
Neste mundo vão
Mão no leme, pé no carnaval
Meu igual
Neste mundo mau
