Menino da Central do Brasil
Menino da Central do Brasil
Menino da Central do Brasil
Menino da Central!
Biscoito, limão e mate!
Menino sofrido, adolescente carente
Com um sorriso bonito
Que toca no fundo na alma da gente
Menino Valente, tentando viver
Sozinho na noite, no dia quendo vencer
É o menino maroto, garoto
Criança esperança do nosso Brasil
Branco, negro, mestiço
Ele luta, sofre
A violência que o persegue
Neste triste retrato-falado
Que fica sempre na nossa memória
realmente espelho vivo de uma causa social
realmente espelho vivo de uma causa social
espelho vivo de uma causa social
É o menino maroto, garoto
Criança esperancça do nosso Brasil
A minha vida é vender bala no trem
Biscoito, salgadinho na minha mão
Só paga cem
Amendoim, chocolate mentolado
Caneta, lapiseira e cocada também tem
Pô, moço, me ajuda aí
Menino da Central do Brasil
Menino da Central
