Tem Boi Na Linha
Djavan Lyrics
Café com pão no vera cruz
Jejum limão em japeri
A bolsa e a vida dançam nesse trem
Te cuida!
Sacola, cabaço, futuro, tutu
Tem boi na linha, seu honório gurgel
Lá vai barão pras filipetas
Comendador entrou no pau
Turiaçu sem gororoba
Fez desse trem cabriolé
Negão quebrou a gabiroba
O mar bateu, voce me pegou
Pra confirmar o sol desmaiou
A onda vai, meu coração carrega
Eh, eh cordovil
Cavalo de ferro, tchhhh...
Cavalo de ferro, tchhhh...
Cavalo de ferro, tchhhh...
Udp-um, udp-dois, udp-três, udp-mil e udputisgrila udfêdapê
Cascudo, pedrada, cuspida, pisada
Vai pra anchieta, seu vigario geral
Engavetou, descarrilhou
Descarrilhei, quebrei também
Ai, santa cruz, não sou jesus
Não sou jesus em santa cruz
Somos zumbis
Todos os santos
Meu vai-e-vem
Parece o vaivém do trem
Parece o vaivém do trem
Parece o vaivém do trem

Djavan canta em seus versos cada estação de trem do Rio de Janeiro em 1980 o Djavan já profetizava a via crucis do cidadão de hoje no trem da Supervia

@Bruno Leal letra e a parte ritmica tb.
Djavan e sua genial Sururu de Capote descrevem com perfeição, em música, sensorial, o vai-e-vem do trem...os metais fazendo-se apito, baixo e bateria o balanço dos vagões...brilhante e sensível em tantos níveis que é até difícil descrever.
Mal comparando, é como Camille Saint-Saëns transpôs em "Aquarium", a sensação de estar dentro de um aquario.
