about

Originally an instrumental piece, it was rst rehearsed with Dani scatting. One day Dani came up with these lyrics, portraying a literate traveler, dying to go home, but persevering in uniting her people through knowledge. The story turned out to be a perfect t with the constant changes in the composition, the di erent feelings in each part, as if she were in a di erent place as each verse goes.

lyrics

Maleta de papel
Carona de corcel
Papete pra correr
Caneta pra contar, ê

Pergunta pra deixar
Ciência pra levar
Um causo pra trocar
Comida pra firmar
Amigo de jornada
Me ensina o que é de bem
Descarta o que é demais

Matraca de cordel
Sapeca de pincel
Pipoca de tonel
Murano pra prendar, ê

Mas terra pra ficar
É aquela que deixei
Saudade sem parar
Tô louca pra voltar
Findar essa vereda
Com meu filho prosar
À morada retornar

Pacote de saber trazido de cangalha
Garupa de Caloi
Boleia de um pinel
Eu toparia qualquer rota
Qualquer preço que chegasse lá

Meu pedaço, em casa, pra contar
Aventuras dentro do meu lar
Mas não volto, sigo estrada
E nas costas levo essa missão
Unir pelo saber
É o meu querer
Mesmo sem ter o meu chão
