Tatuagem
by Elis Regina
Quero ficar no teu corpo como tatuagem
Que é pra te dar coragem pra seguir viagem
Quando a oite vem
E também pra me perpetuar em tua escrava
Que você pega, esfrega, nega, mas não lava
Eu quero brincar no teu corpo feito bailarina
Que logo te alucina, salta e te ilumina
Quando a noite vem
E nos músculos exaustos do teu braco
Repousar frouxa,murcha, farta, morta de cansaco
Eu quero pesar feito cruz nas tuas costas
Que te retalha em postas, mas no fundo gostas
Quando a noite vem
Eu quero ser a cicatriz risonha e corrosiva
Marcada a frio, ferro e fogo em carne viva
Coracões de mãe, arpões, sereias e serpentes
Que te rabiscam o corpo todo mas não sentes
