O Meu Guri
Chico Buarque
My Boy
When, sir, my child was born
It wasn't his time to be born
He was born looking hungry
And I didn't even have a name to give him
How I managed, I can't explain
I was just managing, he was leading me
And in his childhood
One day he told me he would make it
Look there!
Look there!
Look there!
Oh, my boy, look there!
Look there!
It's my boy and he's coming
He arrives sweaty and fast from work
Always brings a gift to surprise me
So much gold chain, sir
That there must be a neck to fit
He brought me a bag already filled
Key, notebook, rosary, and amulet
A handkerchief and a bunch of documents
So I could finally identify myself, look there!
Look there!
Oh, my boy, look there!
Look there!
It's my boy and he's coming
He arrives in the hill with a load
Bracelet, cement, watch, tire, recorder
I pray until he reaches the top
This wave of robberies is terrible
I comfort him, he comforts me
I put him in my lap to lull him
Suddenly, I wake up, look beside me
And the rascal has already gone to work, look there!
Look there! (Ah, look there)
Oh, my boy, look there! (Ah, look there my boy)
Look there! (Ah, my boy)
It's my boy and he's coming (look there my boy)
He arrives stamped, headline, picture
With blindfold, caption, and initials
I don't understand these people, sir
Causing too much commotion
The boy in the bush, I think he's laughing
I think he's beautiful, lying back
From the beginning, I didn't say, sir
He said he would make it
Look there!
Look there!
Look there! (Ah, look there)
Oh, my boy, look there! (Ah, look there my boy)
Look there! (Ah, my boy)
It's my boy (look there my boy)
Look there! (Ah, look there)
Oh, my boy, look there! (Ah, look there my boy)
Look there! (Ah, my boy)
It's my boy (look there my boy)
Look there! (Ah, look there)
Oh, my boy, look there! (Ah, look there my boy)
Look there! (Ah, my boy)
It's my boy (look there my boy)
Look there! (Ah, look there)
Oh, my boy
