⚖️ Construção vs. Deus Lhe Pague (Chico Buarque)

Xylophones and harmonicas
Who wants to hear?
When I played
Leaning on the wall
They wanted my sound to disappear
I'm not good yet
yes, I agree
but I would get upset
If I'm just trying to be me

My guitar is covered of sand and
I'm sitting on nowhere land
But with the xylophones and a harmonica
I got a fool oh by hand
I've gotta improve my ability
Yes I agree
It would increase the probability of
being me

It's such a muy loco music
It's such a muy loco sound
It's a caliente chili feeling
So clean the around
And TGI Friday's nachos
What I saltly eat
But with my muy loco machos
I get so sweet

Xylophones and harmonicas
Who wants to hear?
When I played
Leaning on the wall
They wanted my sound to disappear
I'm not good yet
Yes, I agree
But baby, I won't get upset
I'm just trying to be me

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
