Malandragem

Maybe I'm still a little girl
Waiting for the school bus, alone
Tired with my three-quarter socks
Quietly praying in the corners
For being a bad girl

Maybe the prince turned into a pain
Who keeps bothering me
Maybe life is not to dream

I just ask God
For a little trickery
Because I'm a child
And I don't know the truth
I'm a poet and I haven't learned to love
I'm a poet and I haven't learned to love

Silliness is not living reality
And I still have a whole afternoon
I walk the streets
I cash a check
Move a plant around
I drive my car
I have a drink
And still have time to sing

I just ask God
For a little trickery
Because I'm a child
And I don't know the truth
I'm a poet and I haven't learned to love
I'm a poet and I haven't learned to love

I walk the streets
I cash a check
Move a plant around
I drive my car
I have a drink
And still have time to sing

I just ask God
For a little trickery
Because I'm a child
And I don't know the truth
I'm a poet and I haven't learned to love
I'm a poet and I haven't learned to love

Maybe I'm still a little girl!
