Uma Palavra
Chico Buarque
A Word
Prime word
Just one word, the raw word
That means
Everything
Before understanding, word
Living word
Word with temperature, word
That is produced
Changes
Made of light more than wind, word
Docile word
Water word for any frame
That fits in a bucket, in verse, in sorrow
Any way to keep the word
My word
Material, my creature, word
That guides me
Silent
And that writes me inattentive, word
Maybe at night
Almost-word that one of us murmurs
That mixes the letters I invent
Other pronunciations of pleasure, word
Good word
Not to make literature, word
But to inhabit
Deep
The heart of thought, word
