(Dalla - Palotino)
Versão de Chico Buarque, 1970
Ele vinha sem muita conversa, sem muito explicar
Eu só sei que falava e cheirava e gostava de mar
Sei que tinha tatuagem no braço e dourado no dente
E minha mãe se entregou a esse homem perdidamente
Ele assim como veio partiu não se sabe pra onde
E deixou minha mãe com o olhar cada dia mais longe
Esperando, parada, pregada na pedra do porto
Com seu único velho vestido cada dia mais curto
Quando enfim eu nasci minha mãe embrulhou-me num manto
Me vestiu como se fosse assim uma espécie de santo
Mas por não se lembrar de acalantos, a pobre mulher
Me ninava cantando cantigas de cabaré
Minha mãe não tardou a lertar toda a vizinhança
A mostrar que ali estava bem mais que uma simples criança
E não sei bem se por ironia ou se por amor
Resolveu me chamar com o nome do Nosso Senhor
Minha história é esse nome que ainda hoje carrego comigo
Quando vou bar em bar, viro a mesa, berro, bebo e brigo
Os ladrões e as amantes, meus colegas de copo e de cruz
Me conhecem só pelo meu nome Menino Jesus
