A televisão


O homem da rua
Fica só por teimosia
Não encontra companhia
Mas pra casa não vai não
Em casa a roda
Já mudou, que a moda muda
A roda é triste, a roda é muda
Em volta lá da televisão
No céu a lua
Surge grande e muito prosa
Dá uma volta graciosa
Pra chamar as atenções
O homem da rua
Que da lua está distante
Por ser nego bem falante
Fala só com seus botões

O homem da rua
Com seu tamborim calado
Já pode esperar sentado
Sua escola não vem não
A sua gente
Está aprendendo humildemente
Um batuque diferente
Que vem lá da televisão
No céu a lua
Que não estava no programa
Cheia e nua, chega e chama
Pra mostrar evoluções
O homem da rua
Não percebe o seu chamego
E por falta doutro nego
Samba só com seus botões

Os namorados
Já dispensam seu namoro
Quem quer riso, quem quer choro
Não faz mais esforço não
E a própria vida
Ainda vai sentar sentida
Vendo a vida mais vivida
Que vem lá da televisão
O homem da rua
Por ser nego conformado
Deixa a lua ali de lado
E vai ligar os seus botões
No céu a lua
Encabulada e já minguando
Numa nuvem se ocultando
Vai de volta pros sertões

Biografia

Chico Buarque de Hollanda, known simply as Chico Buarque, is a Brazilian singer-songwriter, composer, and writer born in Rio de Janeiro in 1944. Considered one of the most important exponents of música popular brasileira, he has managed to combine the Brazilian musical tradition with social and political themes of great relevance. His music, characterized by catchy melodies and poetic and incisive lyrics, has helped shape Brazil's cultural landscape in recent decades. Buarque was also an active political activist during the Brazilian military dictatorship (1964-1985), being forced into exile for his anti-regime positions. Among his most famous songs are "A Banda", "Construção", "O Que Você Quer" and "Roda Viva". The album "Falso Brilhante" (1970) is considered one of the masterpieces of Brazilian music.
