Cidade Samba

Meu endereço sempre está
numa caixa de fósforo
E vou embora com o último palito
Na cidade que se anda a passos largos
que se anda, que se anda
Na cidade desesperada
Pessoas ensacadas, de olhos semicerrados.
Como se fizessem algo errado
Na cidade poluída
tem a fumaça, tem a dança
e uma ponta de esperança
de brilhar depois das cinco
Eu acredito no amor
e no barulho dos carros fretados
pra onde você for
por que dentro do meu espaço
Eu seguro e aperto o laço
e no muito do que faço
ainda deixo no ar...
No ar.........
Pra cidade sambar...
