João amava Teresa que amava Raimundo
que amava Maria que amava Joaquim que amava Lili
que não amava ninguém.
João foi pra os Estados Unidos, Teresa para o convento,
Raimundo morreu de desastre, Maria ficou para tia,
Joaquim suicidou-se e Lili casou com J. Pinto Fernandes
que não tinha entrado na história.
Carlos Drummond de Andrade (Itabira, Brazil, 31 October 1902- Rio de Janeiro 17 August 1987)
(Quadrille
João was in love with Teresa who was in love with Raimundo
who was in love with Maria who was in love with Joaquim who was in love with Lili
who wasn’t in love with anybody.
João went to the US, Teresa to a convent,
Raimundo died in an accident, Maria ended up a spinster,
Joaquim committed suicide and Lili married J. Pinto Fernandes
who wasn’t in the story.)
