⚖️ Construção vs. Deus Lhe Pague (Chico Buarque)

One day I had to leave my country, calm beach and palm tree

That day I couldn't even cry

And I forgot that outside there would be other men

But today, but today, but today, I don't know why

I feel a little more blue than then

The day carmen miranda died

They put a photograph in the magazine

Her dead mouth with red lipstick smiled

And people cried, I was about ten

But today, but today, but today, I don't know why

I feel a little more blue than then

One morning they came around to take to jail

I smiled at them and said - all right

But alone in that same day's nigth I cried and cried again

But today, but today, but today, I don't know why

I feel a little more blue than then

One night I saw a mexican film

These twin brothers tryed to kill each other

She opened her arms and got two bullets

And died sweetly without a sigh

But tonight, but tonight, but tonight, I don't know why

I feel a little more blue than then

One day I went down to the underground but

I missed the last train

And now that I'm just looking around

I feel a little more blue than then

Looking around

I don't know why

I feel a little more blue than then

Por esse pão pra comer, por esse chão pra dormir
A certidão pra nascer e a concessão pra sorrir
Por me deixar respirar, por me deixar existir
Deus lhe pague

Pela cachaça de graça que a gente tem que engolir
Pela fumaça e a desgraça que a gente tem que tossir
Pelos andaimes pingentes que a gente tem que cair
Deus lhe pague
