Lyrics
Criança
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.
Não é modinha nem canção
Não é antiga nem moderna
Não tem estrofe nem refrão
Não é fugaz, não é eterna
Não é a luz da escuridão
Da tradição não é lanterna
Não é o hino da nação
Nem expressão de voz interna
Mas tem às voltar um pião
Cheiro de brisa matutina
Dentro da cesta de balão
Vem que a criança nos ensina
