Tropicalia Lyrics
Caetano Veloso
A franja da encosta
Cor de laranja
Capim rosa ch
O mel desses olhos luz
Mel de cor mpar
O ouro ainda no bem verde da serra
A prata do trem
A lua e a estrela
Anel de turquesa
Os tomos todos danam
Madruga
Reluz neblina
Criana cor de rom
Entram no vago
O oliva da nuvem chumbo
Ficando
Pra trs da manh
E a seda azul do papel
Que envolve a ma
As casas to verde e rosa
Que vo passando ao nos ver passar
Aos dois lados da janela
E aquela num tom de azul
Quase inexistente azul que no h
Azul que pura memria de algum lugar
Teu cabelo preto
Explcito objeto
Castanhos lbios
Ou pra ser exato
Lbios cor de Aa
E aqui trem das cores
Sbios projetos
Tocar na central
E o cu de um azul
Celeste celestial
