Velho Chico

Meu velho Chico tu que desces lá de minas
Desde menino, fertilizando o sertão
Enriquecendo quem te beija ou assassina
Quem contamina o sangue do teu coração
Meu velho amigo viver é correr perigo
Ando contigo circulando nesse pó
A tropeçar naquele xote das meninas
De Petrolina, Juazeiro e Cabrobó
Um passageiro teu num surto de maldade
Acessa um site só prá gente escolher
Comprar gravata, lap top e geladeira
Ou ver geleira no polo se derreter.
Meu velho Rio nesse palco inusitado
Globalizado, cheio de guerra e prazer
Cheio de crimes, de riqueza e de miséria
A coisa é séria e tenho que lhe dizer:
Já vão transpô-lo para enricar outras terras
Matar a sede d’água e a fome de poder
Canta tudo outra vez.
