À Cidade
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 poderia ser uma janela aberta
Eu posso até vestir uma camisa certa
Eu cavaria fundo para enterrar meu corpo
Mas eu prefiro a sorte de esconder no rosto
O que há de vida em mim
Eu amaria deus, não fosse por acaso
E rezaria um terço a cada noite em claro
Eu casaria um filho uma vez no altar
Se fosse grande a crença de um redentor
Que olha a guanabara
Quanto é que vale essa casa morta?
Quanto é que custa essa redenção?
Ou o caminho pelos buracos,
Que não tem piche que cubra os trapos
Da velha guarda que bate o hino
Pelo gorjeio da multidão
