Deus mande chuva
Lá pra serra da canastra
Chuvas fortes, chuvas vastas
Pro velho Chico emergir
Quero sentir
A força da natureza
Fazendo a sua correnteza
De novo puder subir
Vamos unirmos
Replantar as suas margens
Devolver toda paisagem
Que o Chicão teve outrora
Chegou a hora
Dos homens que têm poder
Drenarem pra não se ver
O velho Chico ir embora
Em cada proa
Que aparece em seu leito
É um pedido com jeito
De não me deixem morrer
Deixem as usinas
Mas param a poluição
Agrotóxicos e a erosão
Em todo canto se ver
Devolvam aos peixes
Seu santuário sagrado
Que o velho Chico calado
Só tem de lhe agradecer
