Chico Buarque Chico Buarque

Hansel and Gretel

Now I was the hero
And my horse only spoke English
The Cowboy's Bride
It was you beyond the other three

I faced the battalions
The Germans and their cannons
I kept my slingshot
And I rehearsed rock for the matinees

Now I was the king
He was the beadle and he was also a judge
And by my law
We were forced to be happy

Because you
It was the princess I had crowned
And it was so beautiful to admire
Who walked naked through my country

No, don't run away
Pretend that now I was your toy
I was your top
Your favorite animal

Yes, give me your hand
We were no longer afraid
In the time of evil
I think we weren't even born yet

Now it was fatal
That the make-believe would end like this
Beyond this yard
It was a night that never ends

Because you disappeared into the world without telling me
And now I was crazy to ask
What will life make of me?
