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.

Chico Buarque
(Tom Jobim - Chico Buarque, 1980)
Ah, se j perdemos a noo da hora
Se juntos j jogamos tudo fora
Me conta agora como hei de partir
Se, ao te conhecer, dei pra sonhar, fiz tantos desvarios
Rompi com o mundo, queimei meus navios
Me diz pra onde que inda posso ir
Se ns, nas travessuras das noites eternas
J confundimos tanto as nossas pernas
Diz com que pernas eu devo seguir
Se entornaste a nossa sorte pelo cho
Se na baguna do teu corao
Meu sangue errou de veia e se perdeu
Como, se na desordem do armrio embutido
Meu palet enlaa o teu vestido
E o meu sapato inda pisa no teu
Como, se nos amamos feito dois pagos
Teus seios inda esto nas minhas mos
Me explica com que cara eu vou sair
No, acho que ests te fazendo de tonta
Te dei meus olhos pra tomares conta
Agora conta como hei de partir
