Tamborim

Cavei muito buraco na avenida
Pra ajudar no progresso do metrô
Fui feirante vendi muito bagulho
Muitas vezes o rapa me apanhou
Estudei me formei em camelô
Na escola da vida eu sou doutor
Meu dinheiro jamais deu pra viver
Da polícia já tive que correr
E quem sabe um dia eu possa ser
Na política um governador
E com meu tamborim eu vou cantar
Para o povo a minha grande dor.
Eu já disse que fui e o que não sou
Vou morrer na favela por amor
Tamborim, meu velho amigo tamborim!
Como tu és de ninguém
Ai meu deus do céu, a vida é mesmo assim tamborim... (bis)
Tamborim, meu velho amigo tamborim!
A batida do meu coração está chegando ao fim
Já não aguento bater mais no meu tamborim
