READ THE EXCERPT OF A MUSIC FROM THE BAND “O TEATRO MÁGICO”:

Zaluzejo

Oh I have faith in God… right?

Everything I ask he listened to me… right?

Then when I have some poverty I say:

My God! help me that I have this problem!

Then I ask God a lot… then I close my eyes… right?

I God heard me when I asked him, right?

I wish to go away to Recife one day

I'm not going because I'm afraid of planes, of toast… of toast

then I'm afraid, right?

Everything goes well… God willing… God willing…”
