Pra fazer chá
Matingueiros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
filho de Zé Pereira apareceu pra me chamar...
Falou que o pai tava bem e de repente amarelou
caiu doente nem deu tempo de falar.
Mas Zé Pereira não tem vício nem mania
nunca come as porcaria que
vem lá da capital.
E desconheço tal tipo de enfermidade,
Pra fazer chá, cortar uns mato,
Raiz, erva de outras planta
E vou rezar pra minha santa
meu cumprade não levar,
E é na terra que vou encontrar a cura
Fazendo essa mistura
Nesse chá vou colocar:
Jurubeba, hortelã, erva cidreira,
alfazema, aoreira, quebra pedra
E juá, capim santo, malva, losna,
marmeleiro, liamba, arruda,
Umbuzeiro, caju roxo e quixaba
Erva moura, fedegoso, catuaba,
Safroa, beterraba, manjericão,
Maracujá, umburana, caroço de
amendoim, canafístula, alecrim,
semente de abóbora
Pra fazer chá pra fazer chá
eu vou catar uns cogumelo e fazer chá
Pra fazer chá, pra fazer chá
eu vou juntar bem
muita casca e fazer chá.
