A Bela e a Fera
Chico Buarque
Beauty and the Beast
Listen to the declaration, oh beauty
From a dreaming titan
One who ties knots in parallel
And has lunch with marbles
The strongest man on the planet
Superman's chest
Superman's chest
And a poet's heart
The star wouldn't shine, oh beauty
Without night behind it
Your gazelle-like beauty
Under my body is more
A spark on a twig
Burns sugar cane fields
Burns sugar cane fields
I almost wrote a sonnet
More than on the moon or comet
Or in the constellation
The blood printed in the newspaper
Has more inspiration
In the belly of the illiterate
Letters made of pasta
Letters made of pasta
Create concrete poetry
Oh beauty, bring forth spring
Activate your charm
Oh beauty, turn the beast into a prince
A Christian prince
Receive your poet, oh beauty
Open your heart
Open your heart
Or I'll break the window
