Meu pai grande
Inda me lembro e que saudade de você
Dizendo: Eu já criei seu pai, hoje vou criar você
Inda tenho muita vida pra viver
Meu pai grande
Quisera eu ter sua raça pra contar
A história dos guerreiros trazidos lá do longe
Trazidos lá do longe, sem sua paz
De minha saudade vem você contar
De onde eu vim
É bom lembrar
Todo homem de verdade
Era forte e sem maldade
Podia amar
Podia ver
Todo filho seu
Seguindo os passos
E um cantinho pra morrer
Pra onde eu vim
Não vou chorar
Já não quero ir mais embora
Minha gente é essa agora
Se estou aqui
Eu trouxe de lá
Um amor tão longe de mentiras
Quero a quem quiser me amar
