Por que cantar tanta tristeza?
Me pergunta com firmeza
Gente alegre de riqueza
Que Deus quiz pro lá de cá
Pra essa falsa realeza
Que nem sabe com certeza
Que tá tem uma princesa
Vou de novo explicar
Cabe a mim, lei do destino
Responder o destino
Já que a saga do norte ofendido
Fui eu que cantei
Quando um dia com o povo
A viola eu afinei
E com mote, tristeza é pobreza
Eu rimei...
Minha lira, que a face de norte mudou
E eu mudei
Asa Branca, Assum Preto, Acauã
Me ajudem de novo a cantar
E dizer que num é só tristeza
O que tem o sertão a mostrar
Que o caboclo que tanto sofreu
E caído, viveu pra sonhar
Amanheçer dentro de Canaã
Sem sair de seu próprio lugar
Tem agora não só a esperança
Mas certeza de se levantar
Eis porque eu voltei a cantar
Vejam todos, não há tristeza
Na viola que eu passo a tocar
Canaã, que alegria te encontrar
Canaã, Canaã, Canaã
