O rio tem fome tem muito mais fome
Que a fome do filho do velho José
Que ao pescar uma estrela
Perdeu-se nas águas, perdeu-se nas águas
Que o nau dáva um berro
O rio tem sede, tem muito mais sede
Que a sede do filho do velho José
O rio também bebe, e agora o rio bebe
A lágrima quente do velho José
Na ronda das ondas
Qual vento se esvai
Na altura da espuma
Qual time da pluma
Uma lágrima cai
Rio que galopa igual potro bravil
O homem não e nem vai te domar
Mas a tua fome é maior do que a fome
Do abismo profundo do mar
