Chico Buarque (full name: Francisco Buarque de Hollanda; born June 19, 1944 in Rio de Janeiro) is a Brazilian singer, composer, dramatist and writer. He is best known for his music, which often comments on Brazil's social, economic and cultural reality. Chico came from a both intellectual and privileged family background: his father Sérgio Buarque de Hollanda was a well-known historian and sociologist, and the first name of his lexicographer uncle Aurélio Buarque de Hollanda is as strongly associated with Brazilian Portuguese dictionaries as the name Webster is with American ones. A studious child with a precocious interest in music and writing, Chico was heavily impressed by bossa nova, and specifically, by the work of Joo Gilberto. Chico made his public debut as musician and composer in 1964, rapidly building his reputation at music festivals and television variety shows.

A Noite Dos Mascarados Lyrics
Chico Buarque
[Chico]
Quem voc?
[Elis]
Adivinha se gosta de mim
[Coro]
Hoje os dois mascarados
Procuram os seus namorados
Perguntando assim
[Chico]
Quem voc?, diga logo
[Elis]
Que eu quero saber o seu jogo
[Chico]
Que eu quero morrer no seu bloco
[Elis]
Que eu quero me arder no seu fogo
[Chico]
Eu sou ceresteiro, poeta e cantor
[Elis]
O meu tempo inteiro s penso no amor
[Chico]
Eu tenho um pandeiro
[Elis]
S quero um violo
[Chico]
Eu nado em dinheiro
[Elis]
No tenho um tosto
Fui porta-estandarte, no sei mais danar
[Chico]
Eu, modstia parte, nasci para sambar
[Elis]
Eu sou to menina
[Chico]
Meu tempo passou
[Elis]
Eu sou Colombina
[Chico]
Eu sou Pierrot
[Coro]
Mas Carnaval, no me diga mais quem voc
Amanh tudo volta ao normal
Deixa a festa acabar
Deixa o barco correr
Deixa o dia raiar
Que hoje eu sou da maneira
Que voc quiser
O que voc pedir, eu lhe dou
Seja voc quem for
Seja o que Deus quiser
Seja voc quem for
Seja o que Deus quiser
