Vi, ouvi
Ou foi primeiro um cheiro que senti
Ou foi antes um frio
Ou foi antes o gosto
De sangue do seu peito que mordi
Vi, ouvi
Será que foi no dia em que nasci?
Será que já haveria
No escuro do seu ventre
Quem sabe alguma luzinha a luzir?
Será que já haveria
No oco do seu ventre
Quem sabe um eco que eu pudesse ouvir?
Vi, ouvi
Tenho ouvido tanto por aí, mãe
Visto e ouvido tanto por aí, mãe
Aí, mãe
Aí
O mundo continua sendo assim
As mães parindo, os filhos vindo
Vendo, ouvindo, indo
E outros nem bem, mãe
Vivendo pra saber
