Éramos eu e um cavalo
No seu galope macio
Pulando cerca de arame
Pisando morro de pedra
Andando em leito de rio
Éramos eu e um cavalo
E era um cavalo bravio
Casco de lâmina forte
Andar no chão de montanha
Crina de véu e pavio
Ele bufando fagulha
E eu contraído de frio
Mandado pelo barroso
Éramos eu e um cavalo
Indo de encontro ao vazio
Éramos nós e os cavalos
Feitos do mesmo feitio
Vindo de todos os lados
E, sobre eles, sangrentos
Seus cavaleiros sombrios
Éramos nós e os cavalos
A nos causar calafrios
Todos os outros já mortos
Por essa causa contrária
Que se chamou poderio
E eu com uma bala no peito
Meu alazão nos baixios
Caímos da cordilheira
Deixando a causa nas lendas
Pra quem quiser desafio
