THE CAPTAIN OF THE MELODY
Music and lyrics by Celso de LanteuilI am talking about a simple man
A genius of emotion

He travelled many times to
His soul is a bit carioca
He is a kind of masterpiece
The hero of a nation
A
The Captain of the melody
I met him at
He took me to the
Invited by the Queen
To play with the local symphony

And put me on stage
And played The Shadow of Your Smile

He gave us his best
Toot’s, the Captain of the melody
