Ontem veio a chuva
Hoje veio o vento
A qualquer momento
O fogo virá
Coração vadio
Tem que estar atento
Pois cada elemento
Terá seu lugar
Água e ar e fogo
Terra pedregosa
Pedra preciosa
Tudo a merecer
Um canto na alma
Um tapa na cara
Uma joia rara
Um tanto sofrer
Uma joia rara
Um tanto sofrer
No meio do rio
A voz do barqueiro
Lança o desafio
Buda há de escutar
No meio da noite
No meio do frio
Ao fisgar do açoite
Buda há de encontrar
Justo, justo meigo
Entre o belo e o feio
Longe do receio
Perto do sonhar
Onde o amor se esconde
Onde o amor se ampara
Uma joia rara
Um certo penar
Uma joia rara
Um certo penar
