Cidade Grande
Flávio José
Big City
Big city, beautiful girl
You have the smell of illusion
Who passed by your window
Has already known loneliness
Big city
Gasoline chimney
It was my fate
To end up in your arms
Your greatness
Took me to a delirium
Like an eye drop
Brightening my gaze
Big city
Madness paradise
Who seeks you
Like I came to seek you
Suffers a lot
To understand your mystery
Seriously speaking
It was hard to get used to (Chorus)
Your movement
I compared to an anthill
So fast
I started to imagine
My God
How does happiness
In this city
Find a place to live
My sadness
Rejected your joy
One fine day
When I could realize
That progress
Is what makes your money
A prison
Where one kills to live
When I looked
At the black water of your river
A shiver went through my heart
I got scared
That one day the ocean
Would find a plan
And take revenge in betrayal
Big city
If you were mine one day
I would show you
How the bee makes honey
But who am I
Just a simple poet
Who sees life
With eyes towards the sky
