Ouro de tolo


Eu devia estar contente
Porque eu tenho um emprego
Sou um dito cidadão respeitável
E ganho quatro mil cruzeiros
Por mês

Eu devia agradecer ao Senhor
Por ter tido sucesso
Na vida como artista
Eu devia estar feliz
Porque consegui comprar
Um Corcel 73

Eu devia estar alegre
E satisfeito
Por morar em Ipanema
Depois de ter passado
Fome por dois anos
Aqui na Cidade Maravilhosa

Ah
Eu devia estar sorrindo
E orgulhoso
Por ter finalmente vencido na vida
Mas eu acho isso uma grande piada
E um tanto quanto perigosa

Eu devia estar contente
Por ter conseguido
Tudo o que eu quis
Mas confesso abestalhado
Que eu estou decepcionado

Porque foi tão fácil conseguir
E agora eu me pergunto e daí?
Eu tenho uma porção
De coisas grandes prá conquistar
E eu não posso ficar aí parado

Eu devia estar feliz pelo Senhor
Ter me concedido o domingo
Prá ir com a família
No jardim zoológico
Dar pipoca aos macacos

Ah
Mas que sujeito chato sou eu
Que não acha nada engraçado
Macaco, praia, carro
Jornal, tobogã
Eu acho tudo isso um saco

É você olhar no espelho
Se sentir
Um grandessíssimo idiota
Saber que é humano
Ridículo, limitado
Que só usa dez por cento
De sua cabeça animal

E você ainda acredita
Que é um doutor
Padre ou policial
Que está contribuindo
Com sua parte
Para o nosso belo
Quadro social

Eu que não me sento
No trono de um apartamento
Com a boca escancarada
Cheia de dentes
Esperando a morte chegar

Porque longe das cercas
Embandeiradas
Que separam quintais
No cume calmo
Do meu olho que vê
Assenta a sombra sonora
De um disco voador

Eu que não me sento
No trono de um apartamento
Com a boca escancarada
Cheia de dentes
Esperando a morte chegar

Porque longe das cercas
Embandeiradas
Que separam quintais
No cume calmo
Do meu olho que vê
Assenta a sombra sonora
De um disco voador

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Caetano Emanuel Viana Telles Veloso (Salvador, April 7, 1942) is one of the most influential singer-songwriters in Brazil. Born into a bourgeois family, he developed a passion for music at a young age, embracing bossa nova and rock. In the 1960s, in Rio de Janeiro, he became part of the Tropicália movement, a cultural explosion that blended traditional Brazilian elements with international influences such as pop, psychedelic, and jazz. Caetano Veloso is known for his innovative melodies, poetic lyrics, and distinctive voice. A key figure in the Tropicália movement, he collaborated with artists like Gilberto Gil, Tom Zé, and Gal Costa. In 1968, following military censorship in Brazil, he was exiled to London. After returning home, he continued to produce highly successful music, exploring new genres such as world music and electronic. Among his most famous songs are "Alegria, Alegria", "Sozinho", "Sampa", and "O Leãozinho". Caetano Veloso is considered a Brazilian cultural icon, whose impact on the music and society of his country remains profound.
