Coração Vagabundo (Wandering Heart) is a Brazilian song written and performed by Caetano Veloso. The lyrics tell of a heart that never tires of hope and of a childlike memory of a woman who passed through his dreams, leaving eyes that cry without end. The wandering heart longs to keep the world inside, a core image that gives the song its title and mood. The composition is credited to Caetano Veloso, and a 1973 television excerpt from the Quarta Nobre program preserves an early performance of the piece. The exact year of release and the original album aren’t provided in the content above, but guitar chord charts commonly show the tune in Eb major.
