Eu que nasci numa casa singela
Parede de barro e uma vela
Acesa aos pés de maria
Eu, da cidade no meio do vale
Igreja, carroça e chapéu de palha
Nas mãos que acenam um bom dia
Eu fui moleque na beira de rio
Fruta no pé, faz de conta, assobio
Bola de gude e pião
Vi a mulher carregar na cabeça
Uma pedra pagando a promessa
Pra deus vir molhar esse chão
Minha infância festeira e nua
Vestida da arte de rua
Folia de reis, boi-bumbá
Quadrilha, zabumba, viola, cortejo
Andor, procissão, realejo
Congado e seresta ao luar
Jequitinhonha do barro de lira
Da voz de verono, de pedro e maria
Rio, canoa, tambor, oração
Terra da força, da garra e desejo
Vale que levo no peito
Em verso, em prosa e canção
