Let’s walk around the city, shall we?

Ângela Linhares / Flávio Paiva

The city is full of grace
The city and its lights
Its streets and squares
That pass through my heart
It’s got wheels and tops, and loops
Graffitied on the boardwalk.

The city is full of grace
The city and its shadows
It’s streets and squares
That pass through my heart
It’s got wheels and tops, and loops
Graffitied on the boardwalk

Roller coaster, Ferris wheel
Amusement park
There is a balloon, or not
And a mannequin
With a sugar-pastry gaze

Sun shines, sea glints
There are clowns like that
Beating the beats, calling joy, calling joy
Come and say good night
Come and say good morning

In the street, a broken car cries
The fireman, here he comes
A little reddish dove

It also dances with me
The square I didn’t see
When I’m walking around town

  • What a night, Torito!
