Canto de Oxalufã
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.
Você que sabe demais,
Meu pai mandou lhe dizer
Que o tempo tudo desfaz.
A morte nunca estudou
E a vida não sabe ler.
O-ba-bá
Não dá pra ninguém saber
Por que é que há
Quem lê e não sabe amar,
Quem ama e não sabe ler.
Você que sabe demais,
Mas que não sabe viver,
Responda se for capaz:
Da vida, quem sabe lá?
Da morte, quem quer saber?
