Maninha

Se lembra da fogueira
Se lembra dos balões
Se lembra dos luares dos sertões
A roupa no varal, feriado nacional
E as estrelas salpicadas nas canções
Se lembra quando toda modinha falava de amor
Pois nunca mais cantei, oh maninha
Depois que ele chegou
Se lembra da jaqueira
A fruta no capim
Dos sonhos que você contou pra mim
Os passos no porão, lembra da assombração
E das almas com perfume de jasmim
Se lembra do jardim, oh maninha
Coberto de flor
Pois hoje só dá erva daninha
No chão que ele pisou
Se lembra do futuro
Que a gente combinou
Eu era tão criança e ainda sou
Querendo acreditar que o dia vai raiar
Só porque uma cantiga anunciou
Mas não me deixe assim, tão sozinho
A me torturar
Que um dia ele vai embora, maninha
Prá nunca mais voltar
