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
Ô-babá
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?
