João Melena

Bailantas, cantos e guitarras
Donde a indiada se amarra
E um minuto vale apena.
No aconchego das morenas
A alma encontra guarida
E a noite fica comprida
Por causa do JOÃO MELENA.
Indiaço Bueno de fato,
Na adaga instinto de gato
Com malícias de andador,
Um tropeiro e payador
Cultivando os ideais;
Os versos são mananciais
E o João Melena um cantor.
Até vejo o JOÃO MELENA.
A vincha na tez morena
Abrindo horizonte largo...
A paz no verde do amargo
E uma vida pela frente,
Segredos, próprios somente
E os corredores do pago.
Apero em trança de doze
Já diferenciando a pose
De voz pausada e serena,
Ouvidos pras cantilenas
Dos galos em luas minguantes
Pra muitos talvez errante
A vida do João Melena
Sem ter carteira assinada,
Sem previdência privada,
Sem sindicato também...
Conselhos se lhe convém
Preservando a identidade,
Pois Deus lhe deu liberdade
E o João Melena mantém.
