Retrato Cantado
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.
Quem me vê sentado
atrás dessa mesa de escriturário,
não vê o tarado, o louco, o sanguinário,
o bárbaro sem véu,
o estripador cruel.
Não me vê no convés
de um veleiro de três mastros
me guiando pelos astros
a caminho de Bornéu
Não sabem que eu roubo
meninos na praça quando a tarde cai
e que os vespertinos já me apelidaram
de monstro assassino
do Parque Shangai...
Mas eles não sabem
que eu sou gigolô de beira de cais
que eu sou o autor do crime da mala
que eu larguei o trapézio por beber demais...
E nem imaginam
as atrocidades que vou cometer
Não desconfiam
que a causa de tudo
é não conseguir me esquecer de você
Eu não consegui
me esquecer de você...
