Essa gana missioneira que carrego inteira dentro do meu peito
Me faz caudatário de um rio que volta para o velho leito
Esse mate que cevo pra sorver solito quando o Sol se vai
É a seiva bugra da terra vermelha do alto Uruguai
Eu sou missioneiro, nasci para a liberdade
Mas aqui finquei meu rancho pra não sentir mais saudade
Sou herdeiro de Sepé retemperado na guerra
E se precisa eu tranco o pé pra defender minha terra
Aos que se perdem por perder raízes que não acham mais
Aos que se encontram por voltar as fontes dos seus ancestrais
E as encruzilhadas parecem caminhos a se afastar
Quando na verdade são pontos de encontro pra quem quer voltar
Eu sou missioneiro sei de bailes e potreadas
Também sei de mutirões no cabo liso da enxada
Por saber tudo o que sei me sinto bem à vontade
Sempre pronto a defender guerra honra e liberdade
