Alma Nua
Elba Ramalho Lyrics
Nuvens passando,
Sobre minha cabeça
Meu amor me apareça Pra que eu possa te alcançar
Roubando flores
de uma natureza morta
Se a beleza é o que importa
Tanto faz rir ou chorar
De maneira eu vou
pra quem me queira eu tô
Se dou bandeira
è pra cantar pro meu amor
Vou me arrastando
Entre a vontade e o cansaço
sobre pétalas de aço
vou pisando devagar
Flores de plástco eu sei não tem espinho
Mas quem segue o seu caminho
Sem a dor onde vai dar
De maneira...
Caçando rimas
ouvindo estrelas
mas leve, leve
que o ar, que o avião
A alma nua
tão quente quanto
uma noite de São João
De maneira... (2x)
