Carcará Lyrics by João do Vale, Chico Buarque

João do Vale (1981)

1981

[Letra de "Carcará" ft. Chico Buarque]
[Intro: João do Vale]
Carcará
[Verso 1: João do Vale & Chico Buarque]
Lá no sertão
É um bicho que avoa que nem avião
É um pássaro malvado
Tem o bico volteado que nem gavião
Carcará, quando vê roça queimada
Sai voando e cantando, carcará
Vai fazer sua caçada
Carcará come inté cobra queimada
Quando chega o tempo da invernada
O sertão não tem mais roça queimada
Carcará mesmo assim não passa fome
Os burrego que nasce na baixada
[Refrão: Chico Buarque]
Carcará, pega, mata e come
Carcará, num vai morrer de fome
Carcará, mais coragem do que home
Carcará, pega, mata e come
[Verso 2: Chico Buarque]
Carcará é malvado, é valentão
É a águia de lá do meu sertão
Os burrego novinho não pode andá
Ele puxa no imbigo inté matar
[Refrão: Chico Buarque]
Carcará, pega, mata e come
Carcará, num vai morrer de fome
Carcará, mais coragem do que home
Carcará, pega, mata e come
[Outro: Chico Buarque]
Carcará
Carcará
Carcará, pega, mata e come
Carcará, num vai morrer de fome
Carcará, mais coragem do que home
Carcará, pega, mata e come
