Canaã

Navegam barcas
Nas águas rasas do teu olhar
Meu destino é Canaã
Desafiam medos
E vendavais nesse mar
Seguiam mágoas e desvaríos
Numa das naus
Em febre terçã outra se sabia
E uma terceira ao sul se perdia
Todas tocando velas ao vento
Tantas esperas e esperanças
Nas terras livres de Canaã oh, oh!
Vi no teu olhar
Terras de além-mar
Nos rasos da manhã
Os caminhos me levando
A Canaã
Dos teus olhos
Não posso mais voltar
Meu destino é Canaã
Encontrei em você
O que tanto busquei nesse mar
Num rosto longe, no teu sorriso
Na calmaria
Barcos em cinza sem timoneiro
Tinham chegado ao fim das esperas
E eu que vivi ao "Deus-quem-me-dera"
Cantei andanças e esperanças
Nas terras livres de Canaã, oh, oh!
