Full lyrics

Do metrô de Vicente de Carvalho

Passarela do mesmo baralho

Vi ases envelhecidos

De reis já empobrecidos

Senhora Aparecida

O que será daquele trem?


Que segue o trecho sentido Pavuna

Benefício administrativo

Descanso pro coletivo

Passagem por Inhaúma

Caminho do juramento

Momento é Irajá


E lá que o baralho se cortou

Com água mais ardente sem metrô

Surgiram novos cantores

Poetas, compositores, alunos

Professores de bar de criação

Que esplendor


As cartas de menor valor

Tornaram-se valetes

Com damas de respeito

Companheiras e tietes

Motivo pra que toda redondeza

Se alertasse e jogasse os seus

Coringas sobre a mesa


Do metrô de Vicente de Carvalho

Passarela do mesmo baralho

Vi ases envelhecidos

De reis já empobrecidos

Senhora Aparecida

O que será daquele trem?


Que segue o trecho sentido Pavuna

Benefício administrativo

Descanso pro coletivo

Passagem por Inhaúma

Caminho do juramento

Momento é Irajá


E é lá que o baralho se cortou

Com água mais ardente sem metrô

Surgiram novos cantores

Poetas, compositores, alunos

Professores de bar de criação

Que esplendor


As cartas de menor valor

Tornaram-se valetes

Com damas de respeito

Companheiras e tietes

Motivo pra que toda redondeza

Se alertasse e jogasse seus

Coringas sobre a mesa


E eu mais um no meio desse carnaval

Tentando ser original

Revelo minha poesia pra você

E transmitir seu parecer

De cada naipe extraio uma emoção

Brincando com a inspiração

E levo a minha vida de compositor

Jogando cartas no metrô


Laialalaiala laia

Laia la laia


No metrô de Vicente de Carvalho

Translation

From the Vicente de Carvalho subway

The walkway of the same deck

I saw aging aces

Of kings already impoverished

Our Lady Aparecida

What will become of that train?


That follows the stretch towards Pavuna

Administrative benefit

Rest for the collective

Passage through Inhaúma

Path of the oath

The moment is Irajá


And it's there that the deck was cut

With fiery water without a subway

New singers emerged

Poets, composers, students

Professors of a creative bar

What splendor


The cards of lesser value

Became jacks

With respected ladies

Companions and admirers

Reason for the whole surrounding area

To be alerted and play their

Jokers on the table


From the Vicente de Carvalho subway

The walkway of the same deck

I saw aging aces

Of kings already impoverished

Our Lady Aparecida

What will become of that train?


That follows the stretch towards Pavuna

Administrative benefit

Rest for the collective

Passage through Inhaúma

Path of the oath

The moment is Irajá


And it's there that the deck was cut

With fiery water without a subway

New singers emerged

Poets, composers, students

Professors of a creative bar

What splendor


The cards of lesser value

Became jacks

With respected ladies

Companions and admirers

Reason for the whole surrounding area

To be alerted and play their

Jokers on the table


And I'm just one more in the middle of this carnival

Trying to be original

I reveal my poetry to you

And transmit your opinion

From each suit I extract an emotion

Playing with inspiration

And I lead my life as a composer

Playing cards on the subway


Laialalaiala laia

Laia la laia


On the Vicente de Carvalho subway
