Um dia se eu mergulhasse
E num mergulho penetrasse
Através dessas retinas
Através dessas meninas
Dos teus olhos colibris
Tão flutuantes fluentes
Tão cantantes tão contentes
Meninas tão... meninas tão bem
Meninas tão bem-te-vis
Desataria da garganta
Esse travor de fogo e sol
E cantaria o rouxinol
Decantaria as juritis
Galo de campina
Sabiá, xexéu, rolinha
Grava tua voz na minha
Canta o fogo se apagou
Que no Sertão do meu penar
Brotaram mágoas
Que o meu pranto hoje deságua
Na cacimba que secou
