Eu vou descer a ribeira
Vou rever o passado,
Passado de glória
Trampolim da vitória
Itajubá declamando
Seu poema de amor
E o suor pelo rosto
Encantando as flores
Na rua das virgens
Mestre cascudo passeava
Escrevendo a história
Do nosso povo brasileiro
Na "cova da onça"
No carneirinho de ouro
O zé areia chegava
Com sua onça-pintada
Eu vou descer a ribeira
Vou rever o passado,
Passado de glória
Trampolim da vitória
No "downtown", "polytheama"
Grande hotel e o cassino de bianchi
E o namoro da moça e a marujada
Eu vou na asa do vento
Exupéry ultrapassava
A barra do rio
Meu potengi idolatrado
Na tavares de lira
No baile da saudade
Eu sou uma ave no tempo
Até romper a madrugada
