lyrics

samba da quarta-feira

"Quem me dera ser como o rapaz desvairado!"
– Manuel Bandeira

eu resolvi fazer um samba pra tocar na quarta-feira (4x)

depois de amarrar o confete nas cordas do trio
depois da saideira
depois de bancar a vedete no baile das mil e uma noites
bandeira amarrada no colo febril
como fosse um jogo do brasil
o herói das cinzas nasce uma semana em fevereiro
segue ligeiro a marcação
o asfalto é quente e a alma faceira paira sobre o chão
e a gente incinerando a nossa dor nessa fogueira e
nesse samba pra tocar na quarta-feira

eu resolvi fazer um samba pra tocar na quarta-feira (4x)

na apuração minha escola perdeu o carnaval
mas ainda é estação primeira
tenho bolhas e calos nos pés
o pandeiro me escorre das mãos
mas inda resta tempo, e a vida espera a saideira
é o que se espera, que de maneira a seu critério
o tempo companheiro
não vá me abreviar a brincadeira

eu resolvi fazer um samba pra tocar na quarta-feira (4x)
