(R. Seixas - P. Coelho, 1976)
Eu estava caminhando pela Rua do Ouvidor, quando de repente
Eu vi um velhinho com uma cuia pedindo esmoa
E a cada uma que dava esmola, ele contava sua história:
Eu nasci há dez mil anos atrás
E não tem nada neste mundo que eu não sabia demais
Eu vi Cristo ser crucificado
O amor nascer e se assassinado
E as bruxas pegando fogo para pagarem seus pecados
Vi Moisés cruzar o Mar Vermelho
Maomé cair na terra de joelhos
E Pedro negar Cristo por três vezes diante do espelho
Vi as velas de acenderem para o Papa
Babilônia ser riscada do mapa
Conde Drácula sugando sangue novo e se escondendo atrás
Da capa
Vi a arca de Noé cruzar os mares
Salomão cantar seus Salmos pelos ares
Vi zumbi fugir com os negros pra floresta, pro quilombo dos palmares
Vi o sangue que corria da montanha
Quando Hitler chamou a Alemanha
E o soldado que sonhava com a amada numa cama de campanha
Li os símbolos sagrados de umbanda
Fui criança pra poder dançar ciranda
Quando todos praguejavam contra o frio fiz a cama da varanda
Tava junto com os macacos na caverna
Bebi vinho com a s mulheres na taberna
Quando a pedra despencou da ribanceira eu também quebrei a
Perna
Fui testemunha do amor de Rapunzel
Vi a estrela de David brilhar no céu
E pra aquele que provar que eu estou mentindo
Pra este eu tiro o meu chapéu.
