Lista de Compras

How I miss those times
Times that won't come back
I was a little boy, your boyfriend
Friend of your parents

And today I'm already grown up
I'm your husband, you're my wife
The joy is over
Arguing every day is what you want

If I work until late
And arrive tired at home
You say I'm cheating on you
And that you won't put your hand in the fire for me

On that day for sure
I don't eat at the table, if at all
Knowing your nature
For sure, I sleep on the couch

When the weekend comes
I stay home to rest
A list of a meter or more
You bring to show me

And tell me we're out of gas, rice, and coffee
Sugar and beans
Salt, hot pepper
Tomato, cucumber, and also bell pepper
Flour, oil, soap
Steel wool, radish, okra, and soap
Banana, avocado, orange, farm eggs, and even lemon
Deodorant and toothpaste
A rubber ring for the pressure cooker
A sneaker for Mariazinha
A little boot for Sebastião
Antonieta's books
And a pacifier for the youngest
And so the list goes on
And the artist's pocket without a penny
