cururu
Tribo da Periferia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cu-cururu (ó os cú)
Cururu tela la os cú
Cururuuuu (bota pra andar)

Tela o cururu desvalorizando a área (dá o perdido nele) 2x
Bota pra andar logo os comédia
Deixa os ladrão solto de bermuda e chinela
Que a rua é nossa

()

Cururu quer brincar, corre em volta das cadeira (corre) 2x
Cururu "ganhou" pedestre... sumiu
Cururu roubou varal... sumiu

()

Cururu quer tirar, vai sapatear no chumbo (pula) 2x
Cada qual com seus problemas
Proceder pra quem sustenta
Vida longa à quem respeita
Nois é nois, tem nem jeito

()

Cururu quer "ripar" toca-fita de malandro (dá o perdido nele) 2x
Licença aí, ó, respeito a quem merece
A quem não pisa no calo




Quem mora no morrinho acostumado
A não dar bom dia a cavalo
