A picada na floresta, quem fez foi um pioneiro
Herói cortador das matas, no afã de chegar primeiro
Meu pai que rasgou na selva, com fé seu verde pulmão
No peito da natureza, sobre a cama do sertão.
Picada, velha picada, na floresta abandonada
Me diga pra onde vai, picada de meu destino
Quando ainda era menino por aqui passou meu pai.
Se meu pai aqui estivesse, para responder pra mim
O que ele procurava, nesta floresta sem fim
Por certo ele diria, que nestas matas buscava
A esperança no futuro, pros filhos que ele adorava.
Picada, trilho nas matas, clareira da solidão
Também tenho uma picada, dentro do meu coração
Por onde passa chorando, esta saudade que vai
Buscar nas matas do tempo, velhos rastros de meu pai.
