Esse matagal sem fim
Essa estrada, esse rio seco
Essa dor que mora em mim
Não descansa e nem dorme cedo
O retrato da minha vida
É amar em segredo
Não quer saber de mim
E eu vivendo da tua vida
Deus no céu e você aqui
A esperança é quem me abriga
Esses campos não tardam em florir
Já se espera uma boa colheita
E tudo parece seguir
Fazendo a vida tão direita
Mas e você o que faz
Que não repara no chão
Por onde tem que passar
E pisa em meu coração?
O teu beijo em meu destino
Era tudo o que eu queria
Ser teu homem, teu menino
O ser amado de todo dia.
