Quando olhei a terra ardendo

Qua fogueira de São João

Eu preguntei a Deus do céu, uai

Por que tamanha judiação

Que braseiro, que fornaia

Nem um pé de prantação

Por farta d'água perdi meu gado

Moreu de sede meu alazão

Inté mesmo a asa branca

Bateu asas do sertão

"Intonce" eu disse a deus Rosinha

Guarda contigo meu coração

Hoje longe muitas léguas

Numa triste solidão

Espero a chuva cair de novo

Para eu voltar pro meu sertão

Quando o verde dos teus oio

Se espalhar na prantação

Eu te asseguro não chore não, viu

Que eu voltarei, viu

Meu coração
