POETRY CRUSH
CASTELO BRANCO É CIDADE
DE MUITO FRIO E CALÔR
RICA TERRA NA VERDADE
PARA VIVER COM O MEU AMOR
NESTA CIDADE VIVI
MINHA CASTA ADOLESCÊNCIA
TÃO CASTA QUE ATÉ PERDI
OS RESTOS DA INOCÊNCIA
TINHA DUAS FABRIQUETAS
ONDE A MATAR SE APRENDIA
DOIS JORNAIS, ALGUNS POETAS
CHEIRINHO A DEMOCRACIA
TINHA DOIS CHUIS Á CIVIL
QUE ACORRIAM AO VIDAL
Á CATA DA PROSA VIL
ERA ASSIM, ERA NORMAL
E TINHA O PADRE ANACLETO
QUE CONFERIA À CIDADE
COM O SEU ESTILO RECTO
UM TOM DE FRATERNIDADE
................................................................................
..........................................
CASTLE WHITE IS CITY
THE VERY cold and heat
RICH LAND IN FACT
TO LIVE WITH MY LOVE
VIVI THIS CITY
MY CASTE ADOLESCENCE
SO WHAT CASTE TO LOST
THE REMAINS OF INNOCENCE
HAD TWO sweatshops
WHERE TO KILL you learned
TWO NEWSPAPERS, SOME POETS
Smell DEMOCRACY
HAD TWO COPS TO THE CIVIL
Who flocked THE VIDAL
Á PROSE OF CATA VIL
WAS SO WAS NORMAL
And HAD THE FATHER ANACLETO
Which entrusted CITY
WITH YOUR STRAIGHT STYLE
A FRATERNITY OF TOM
