A violeira


Desde menina
Caprichosa e nordestina
Que eu sabia, a minha sina
Era no Rio vir morar
Em Araripe
Topei como chofer dum jipe
Que descia pra Sergipe
Pro Serviço Militar

Esse maluco
Me largou em Pernambuco
Quando um cara de trabuco
Me pediu pra namorar
Mais adiante
Num estado interessante
Um caixeiro viajante
Me levou pra Macapá

Uma cigana revelou que a minha sorte
Era ficar naquele Norte
E eu não queria acreditar
Juntei os trapos com um velho marinheiro
Viajei no seu cargueiro
Que encalhou no Ceará

Voltei pro Crato
E fui fazer artesanato
De barro bom e barato
Pra mó de economizar
Eu era um broto
E também fiz muito garoto
Um mais bem feito que o outro
Eles só faltam falar

Juntei a prole e me atirei no São Francisco
Enfrentei raio, corisco
Correnteza e coisa-má
Inda arrumei com um artista em Pirapora
Mais um filho e vim-me embora
Cá no Rio vim parar

Ver Ipanema
Foi que nem beber jurema
Que cenário de cinema
Que poema à beira-mar
E não tem tira
Nem doutor, nem ziguizira
Quero ver que é que tira
Nós aqui desse lugar

Será verdade
Que eu cheguei nessa cidade
Pra primeira autoridade
Resolver me escorraçar
Com tralha inteira
Remontar a Mantiqueira
Até chegar na corredeira
O São Francisco me levar

Me distrair
Nos braços de um barqueiro sonso
Despencar na Paulo Afonso
No oceano me afogar
Perder os filhos
Em Fernando de Noronha
E voltar morta de vergonha
Pro sertão de Quixadá

Tem cabimento
Depois de tanto tormento
Me casar com algum sargento
E todo sonho desmanchar
Não tem carranca
Nem trator, nem alavanca
Quero ver que é que arranca
Nós aqui desse lugar

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

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.

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.
