Esse rio que vai
Me lembra meu pai
Na proa da canoa
Luar na coroa
Grãos de prata
E o pensamento voa
E o rio vai
Bendito filho das chuvas
E do choro das viúvas
Na solidão do cais
A se afogar nas dores
Saudades dos amores
E vapores que não voltam mais
E o rio vai, e o rio vai
Meu rio santo
Seu destino é o mar
Meu ofício é te cantar
Lava minha voz
Leva pra foz
Deixa desaguar
