Lyrics
Intro
Instrumental interlude
Uma antropofagía,
até tardia,
tornou a nossa música salada de fruta,
nacional ou importada,
naquela tropicália de alegria.
Bridge
Sessenta foi a década do dia:
solar, viva na cor, iluminada.
Criou-se como não se cria nada.
Valia tudo e tudo, então, valia.
Bridge
Instrumental interlude
Pre Chorus
Caetano, Gil, Mutantes, circo e pão.
Modernantiga guarda, esquerdireita.
Barrôco énd roll.
Mambóssa.
Rumbaião.
Bridge
Chorus
Eu era adolescente, e, certa feita,
senti num festival que uma canção é letra,
e tudo nela se aproveita.
