Walking upwind
Without a handkerchief and papers
Under nearly December's sun
I go...
The sunlight breaks over crimes
Spaceships, guerrillas
And beautiful cardinales
I go...
Over the faces of presidents
and tender love kisses
Over teeth, legs, flags
The bomb and Brigitte Bardot
The sun shining over the newsstands
fills me with joy and laziness
Who does read so many news...?
I go...
Through pictures and names
Eyes full of color
Heart full of vain love
I go
Why not? Why not?
She thinks about marriage
And I've dropped school.
Without a handkerchief and papers,
I go ...
I drink a coke
She thinks about marriage
And a song consoles me
I go...
Through pictures and names
No books, no rifle
No hunger, no telephone
In the heart of Brazil
She doesn't know, I had thought
about singing on TV
The sun is so beautiful
I go...
Without a handkerchief and papers,
Nothing in my pockets or hands
I want to keep on living, love
I go...
Why not? why not?
Why not? why not?
Why not? why not?
Why not? why not?
