BON VIVANT FANTASTIC TOUR

   




       In those streets of buildings
       by Frank Lloyd and Corbusier
      I dreamed of my dry landscape...
      In those temples of sumptuous
    mystery, I dreamed of the little chapel
            of São João...
  On the fast High Ways, I dreamed
     the trails of xique xique...
    In the monumental parks,
  of those megalopolises, I dreamed
   of the backyard of the caatingas...
     In those exploded Meccas,
     I dreamed of my shotgun
          of soca-soca...
       In the nightclubs of
     high society, I dreamed
      of Zé Lagoa's relaxation bal masquê...
     I confess that I lived in those worlds,
         but I never left home...!
