Breath of Life
Chico coração de criança,
Parecendo um menino grande,
Poeta amante, cantante,
Do verde, da vida do rico e do pobre,
Que sofre em nosso país.
Chico de braços abertos, cantando e sorrindo,
Veio representar nossa música, nossa terra,
Encantando à todos, sedentos
Por suas músicas serenas, alegres, ardentes,
Vindo do fundo de um coração de poeta.
Chico que com Marieta,
Trouxe seu canto brejeiro, cheirando veneno.
Que veio e que trouxe, momentos divinos, momentos de vida,
Para nós Brasileiros saudosos,
Por estarmos distantes de nossa terra.
Chico coração de criança,
Parecendo um menino grande,
Poeta amante, cantante,
Do verde, da vida do rico e do pobre,
Que sofre em nosso país.
Em casa. Londres, julho 1993

WHO AM I?
