João Valentão

João Valentão
João Valentão is a fighter
To give a slap
He doesn't pay attention and doesn't think about life
João intimidates everyone
Does things that even God doubts
But has his moment in life
It's when the sun is breaking
Towards the end of the world for the night to come
It's when you hear louder
The roar of the waves on the seashore
It's when the fatigue of the struggles of life
Forces João to sit down
It's when the brunette curls up
Moves closer trying to please
If the night is moonlit
The desire is to tell lies
To stretch out
To lie on the beach sand
That ends where the eye can't reach
And so this man falls asleep
Who never needs to sleep to dream
Because there is no dream more beautiful than his land.
