VELHO VIOLINO!!!

                                           Gemem as cordas
                                           Do velho violino,
                                           Onde o mendigo da esquina
                                           Faz vibrar desde sempre,
                                           Velhas melodias
                                           Que resistem ao tempo,
                                           Desgastadas em notas soltas
                                           Que se perdem no ar
                                           E dançam loucas
                                           No centro da praça!
                                           Passam pessoas
                                           De orelhas moucas
                                           E olhos vidrados,
                                           Dorme o cachorro
                                           Guardando as moedas
                                           Que caem no gorro!
                                           Sinfonia de morte lenta,
                                           Mil vezes repetida
                                           Nas notas soltas
                                           Espalhadas ao vento,
                                           Onde o mendigo da esquina,
                                           Esconde o lamento
                                           Na pauta da vida!!!
