Figura de Retórica
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Eu sou uma figura de retórica
Eu sou a frase de um discurso de paraninfia
Da turma de bacharelandos
Da universidade da bahia
A popular figura metafórica
Eu sou a beca preta que o doutor vestia
Na tarde daquele memorável samba
No salão nobre da reitoria
Beca preta, doutor de anedotas, normalista linda
Nossas fantasias não têm igual
Aos fantasmas de hamilton, coemo, rubinho e mutinha
Nossas simpatias neste carnaval
