Quem sabe o canto da gente
Seguindo na frente
Prepare o dia da alegria.
A gente sorria
E tudo era só alegria
Na mesma esperança
Ficava de novo criança.
Na grande avenida
A vida perdida
O encontro marcado
No claro da lu - a
Tudo ficou tão contente
Porque minha gente
De novo era povo na rua.
E o grande cordão
Cantava o refrão que crescia
Da simples canção
Que era de João e Maria
E o povo na rua
Pensou que era sua
De tanto que andava
Atrás de qualquer alegri -a.
E na cantiga de João
Que era só ilusão
Jogou a esperança que havia.
A vida perdida
É como a mulher mais querida
Levando João
E o povo na mesma avenida
E um dia de festa
Só mesmo podia
Fazer da tristeza
A maior fantasi - a.
Quem sabe o canto da gente
Seguindo na frente
Prepare o dia da alegria.
