Homenagem ao malandro
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.
Eu fui fazer um samba em homenagem
à nata da malandragem,
que conheço de outros carnavais.
Eu fui à Lapa e perdi a viagem,
que aquela tal malandragem
não existe mais.
Agora já não é normal,
o que dá de malandro regular profissional,
malandro com o aparato de malandro oficial,
malandro candidato a malandro federal,
malandro com retrato na coluna social;
malandro com contrato, com gravata e capital,
que nunca se dá mal.
Mas o malandro para valer, não espalha,
aposentou a navalha,
tem mulher e filho e tralha e tal.
Dizem as más línguas que ele até trabalha,
mora lá longe e chacoalha num trem da Central.
