Alto Que Só

Eu ví a torre Eifel minha mãe
Tinha tanta gente querendo subir que deu dó
Me lembrei do terreiro do sítio de Vovó
No pé de Manga Espada
A gente brincava
Era alto que só
Eu ví a Torre Eifel minha mãe
Ví catedrais, avenidas, ruas, vielas, o escambau!
A torre não foi feita de pau
Mas, nada se comparou
A torre que viu meu avô
A torre da Fábrica Tacaruna
Eu ví um bocado de gente mãe
Vi pessoas chegando, saindo, sentindo frio, suando
Imigrantes, Africanos, Argelinos, Indianos
Pessoas se escondendo, fugindo aflitos, felizes sorrindo
Eu vi a Torre de cabeça prá baixo
Eu vi a Torre em plena cidade mamãe
Eu vi a Torre Eifel minha mãe
Com todo aquele ferro que tinha lá
Eu faria uma Ferroviária
Unindo o Recife a Quipapá!
