Negra voz de velha só
Numa igreja interior
Me falando de seu tempo
Conta a idade, conta o que restou
Onde os filhos que eu criei?
Vida presa no quintal
Me lembrando desse tempo
Vejo quem vem meu leito festejar
Três meninos nascendo no ventre negro
Sem cor
Meninos sentados no chão
Quem veio por eles buscar?
Hoje eu digo 83
Sem diamante, escravidão
Nem pergunto pelos filhos
Ligo o rádio, durmo no chão
