Retrato do sertão
São cinco coisas no mundo
Por quem sou apaixonado
É vaquejada
Forró, cavalo, mulher e gado.
O aboio de um vaqueiro
Uma corrida de mourão
Um forró bem amimado
Uma morena no salão
E um cavalo selado
É o retrato do sertão
Se não tivesse forró
Não existia alegria
Se não tivesse vaqueiro
Vaquejada não havia
E se não tivesse mulher
Eu aqui não estaria
Vou dizer amais mais uma vez
Por quem sou apaixonado
Por vaquejada Forró, cavalo, mulher e gado.
