A Rua dos Pequenos Reparos
Twelve songs move through small shops, counters, a market street, a bakery, a pharmacy, a repair bench and a blue door at the end of the street. Each track has its own page with a complete lyric translation. The original Brazilian Portuguese pages remain available through the PT links.

O Chaveiro · The Key Maker
A small key shop, a copied key and the original kept in the felt.
Pano Molhado · Wet Cloth
The circular stain keeps returning, even after the cloth passes.
O Sapato Esquerdo · The Left Shoe
The cobbler notices too late that he began on the wrong side.
Três Sacolas · Three Bags
Rice, soap, tomato: a handle breaks in the middle of the street.
A Geladeira do Bar · The Bar Refrigerator
The motor fails, water runs down the floor, and the owner says it fits.
Telefone Público · Public Telephone
A name is spoken without voice into the dead phone by the bakery.
A Costureira · The Seamstress
A folded note is sealed inside the stitched pocket.
Cachorro no Portão · Dog at the Gate
The waiting happens between two houses, under the dew.
Luz da Farmácia · Pharmacy Light
Small coins, a weak receipt, a difference pushed across the counter.
O Rádio Pequeno · The Small Radio
The radio starts working too late, after the street has already turned away.
Depois da Feira · After the Market
After the market, the low street becomes peel, ice, coin and broom.
A Porta Azul · The Blue Door
The paint covers only a little; the old number slowly returns.
