O Marco Marciano
Lenine Lyrics

(by Lenine & Bráulio Tavares)

Pelos auto falantes do universo
Vou louvar-vos aqui na minha lua
Um trabalho que fiz noutro planeta
Onde nave flutua e disco voa
Fiz meu Marco num solo Marciano
Num deserto vermelho Sem garoa
Bem na praça central um Monumento
Embeleza meu Marco Marciano
Um granito em enigma recortado
Pelos rudes martelos de Vulcano




Uma esfinge em perfil contra o poente
Guardiã imortal do meu arcano
