"No consultório de um médico
Um moço triste entrou
E disse: Doutor,
Eu quero um remédio pra minha dor
Ando triste, aborrecido
O médico o examinou
E não encontrando doença
Pro rapaz assim falou:"
O seu mal é uma descrença
Das longas datas vividas
Lembrando as lutas que teve
E todas elas perdidas
Por isso tens a existência
Cansada e desiludida
De tanto arrastar pro mundo
A pesada cruz da vida
Vá hoje naquele circo
Pra esquecer sua amargura
Veja naquele palhaço
A mais feliz criatura
Ele faz rir quem está triste
Com as suas diabruras
Só assistir distraído
A sua mágoa tem cura.
O moço abaixou a cabeça
E mais triste respondeu
Se este é o meu remédio
Minha esperança morreu
O palhaço alegra os outros
Tendo em pranto os olhos seus
Não tenho cura porque
Aquele palhaço sou eu.
