Meu Rio
Perto da favela do Muquiço
Eu menino já entendia isso
Um gosto de Susticau
Balé no Municipal
Quintino:
Um coreto
Entrevisto do passar do trem
Nós nos lembramos bem
Baianos, paraenses e pernambucanos:
Ar morno pardo parado
Mar pérola
Verde onda de cetim frio
Meu Rio
Longe da favela do Muquiço
Tudo no meu coração
Esperava o bom do som: João
Tom Jobim
Traçou por fim
Por sobre mim
Teu monte-céu
Teu próprio deus
Cidade
Vista do outro lado da baía
De ouro e fogo no findar do dia
Nas tardes daquele então
Te amei no meu coração
Te amo
Em silêncio
Daqui do Saco de São Francisco
Eu cobiçava o risco
Da vida
Nesses prédios todos, nessas ruas
Rapazes maus, moças nuas
O teu carnaval
É um vapor luzidio
E eu rio
Dentro da favela do Muquiço
Mangueira no coração
Guadalupe em mim é Fundação
Solidão
Maracanã
Samba-canção
Sem pai nem mãe
Sem nada meu
Meu Rio
