Telegrama

"I wanted to be a White rose
but what good is it to be a White rose
that by being white ceases to be a rose, so I remain in myself,
overflowing, inhabitant of the planet LOVE
firm in the idea Stem
just to see where I sprout Flower"

I was sad
So sad!
More without grace
Than the skinny top model
On the catwalk
I was just
Alone!
More lonely
Than a person from São Paulo
and a bad actor when the curtain falls
I was more foolish
Than a rock band
And a clown
From the Vostok circus...

But yesterday
I received a Telegram
It was you from Aracaju
Or from Alabama
Saying:
Nêgo feel happy
Because in the world
There is someone who says:
That loves you very much!
That loves you so much!
That loves you very, very much,
that loves you so much!...

That's why today I woke up
With a strong desire
To send flowers to the police officer
To knock on the neighbor's door
And wish a good day
To kiss the Portuguese
From the bakery...

Today I woke up
With a strong desire
To send flowers to the police officer
To knock on the neighbor's door
And wish a good day
To kiss the Portuguese
From the bakery...

Mama! Oh Mama! Oh Mama Africa!
I want to be yours!
I want to be yours!
I want to be yours!
I want to be your papa!...(2x)

Give me your hand let's go out
To see the sun!

I was sad
So sad!
More without grace
Than the skinny top model
On the catwalk
I was just
Alone!
More lonely
Than a person from São Paulo
Than a villain
From a Mexican movie
I was more foolish
Than a rock band
And a clown
From the Vostok circus...
