Lyrics
Quem Dera
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.
Maria quem te fez chorar assim sem ter razão.
Maria vai buscar meu tambourim, e o violão
Procura compreender que a vida é dura de viver
Mas afinal diz que seja então teu carnaval.
Olhando para tua fantasia pode ser
Que a lua vai buscar o novo dia pra você.
E o tempo deu mais tempo pra entender
Que não se para pra chorar
Se é tão pouco tempo pra viver.
Quem dera, pudesse essa noite
Tão linda ficar entre nós
Que ainda que o samba responda
Que não.
Levanta que toda a cidade
Te espera, quem dera a ti a vida,
Quem dera nascer-se na tua canção.
Mas canta
Que toda a verdade
No mundo
Tem sempre um poeta
No fundo
Que o canto é maior da razão.
