Quando nasci, um anjo torto
Desses que vivem na sombra
Disse: Vai, Carlos, ser gauche na vida
As casas espiam os homens
Que correm atrás de mulheres
A tarde talvez fosse azul
Não houvesse tantos desejos
O bonde passa cheio de pernas
Pernas brancas, pretas, amarelas
Para que tanta perna, meu Deus? Pergunta meu coração
Porém, meus olhos
Não perguntam nada
O homem atrás do bigode
É sério, simples e forte
Quase não conversa
Tem poucos, raros amigos
O homem atrás dos óculos e do bigode
Meu Deus, por que me abandonaste?
Se sabias que eu não era Deus
Se sabias que eu era fraco
Mundo, mundo, vasto mundo
Se eu me chamasse Raimundo
Seria uma rima, não seria uma solução
Mundo, mundo, vasto mundo
Mais vasto é meu coração
Eu não devia te dizer
Mas essa Lua
Mas esse conhaque
Botam a gente comovido como o diabo
