Fita Amarela
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.
Quando eu morrer,
Não quero choro nem vela,
Quero uma fita amarela
Gravada com o nome dela.
Se existe alma
Se há outra encarnação
Eu queria que a mulata
Sapateasse no meu caixão
Não quero flores
Nem coroa com espinho
Só quero choro de flauta
Violão e cavaquinho
Estou contente,
Consolado por saber
Que as morenas tão formosas
A terra um dia vai comer.
Não tenho herdeiros
Não possuo um só vintém
Eu vivi devendo a todos
Mas não paguei a ninguém
Meus inimigos
Que hoje falam mal de mim,
Vão dizer que nunca viram
Uma pessoa tão boa assim
