Festa Do Interior
Gal Costa · Novo Millennium [2005]
Fagulhas, pontas de agulhas
Brilham estrelas de São João
Babados, xotes e xaxados
Segura as pontas meu coração
Bombas na guerra, magia
Ninguém matava, ninguém morria
Nas trincheiras da alegria
O que explodia era o amor
Nas trincheiras da alegria
O que explodia era o amor
Ardia aquela fogueira
Que me esquentava a vida inteira
Eterna noite
Sempre a primeira festa do interior
Ardia aquela fogueira
Que me esquentava a vida inteira
Eterna noite
Sempre a primeira festa do interior
