lyrics

Lagrimas na Areia
(music by Benji Kaplan & lyrics by Luiz Simas)

Canta a mãe-da-lua, é madrugada na floresta
Relva iluminada, noite clara, água escura
A bela cabocla na beira do rio
afaga seus negros cabelos de índia

Gira o boto rosa e pisca os olhos para ela
Da clareira a onça curte a dança da sereia
Corre então a irara, se lançando à correnteza,
triste, desce à praia e deixa lágrimas na areia, lágrimas na areia

De manhã a onça acorda ao som da trovoada
Vôa a passarada à procura de um abrigo
Mas (Bem) sabe a irara, esse som diferente
não é tempestade, é coisa de gente

Com dragões de ferro eles destroem a floresta,
o igapó do boto e a lagoa da sereia
Seringais se perdem quando a selva se incendeia,
a irara volta à praia e deixa lágrimas na areia, lágrimas na areia
