No dia em que a bossa nova inventou Brazil
teve que fazer direito, senhores pares,
porque a nossa capital era Buenos Aires,
a nossa capital era Buenos Aires.
(bis)
E na cultura-Hollywood o cinema dizia
que em Buenos Aires havia uma praia
chamada Rio de Janeiro
que como era gelada só podia ter
Carnaval no mês de favereiro
Naquele Rio de Janeiro o tango nasceu
e Mangueira o imortalizou na avenida
Originária das tangas
com que as índias fingiam
cobrira graça sagrada da vida.
No dia em que a bossa nova inventou Brazil
teve que fazer direito, senhores pares,
porque a nossa capital era Buenos Aires,
a nossa capital era Buenos Aires.
(bis)
E na cultura-Hollywood o cinema dizia
que em Buenos Aires havia uma praia
chamada Rio de Janeiro
(nem cantinho,nem Corcovado)
que como era gelada só podia ter
(que dó)
Carnaval no mês de favereiro
(Nem barquinho na Guanabara)
Naquele Rio de Janeiro o tango nasceu
e Mangueira o imortalizou na avenida
(Jamelão na verde-e-rosa)
Originária das tangas
com que as índias fingiam
cobrira (que dá) graça sagrada da vida.
