O Velho Chico
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.
O São Francisco não é mais o que era antes
A todo instante eu vejo tudo acontecendo
Devastação depredação da natureza
As correntezas e os riachos estão Morrendo.(bis)
Sem essas veias que bombeiam o São Francisco
Chego até ouvir seus gritos de clamor e desespero
Nenhum veleiro navegando no seu leito
Me dói no fundo do peito vendo esse pesadelo
Tenha cuidado com essa tal transposição
O velho Chico vive pedindo socorro
Um projeto novo revitaliza suas margens
Renascendo em suas paisagens
A Alegria desse povo.(bis)
