Pra não dizer que não falei das flores

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Pra não dizer que não falei das flores" (Portuguese for "For not saying I didn't speak about flowers"), also know as "Caminhando" (Portuguese for "Walking"), is a song composed by Geraldo Vandré that ranked second on the Festival Internacional da Canção in 1968. Afterwards, the public hearing was forbidden by the military dictatorship.

The melody has a hymn and march rhythm, and the lyric, with the verses within an easy rhime (almost all of them end with the same syllable: "ão"), which eases memorization, was wildely played. The first artist ever to sing "Caminhando" after censorhip's lift was Simone, in 1979, reaching enormous success from both public and critics.
