Fui garimpeiro nas águas revoltas da terra
Onde o mau vai pro inferno e o bom vai pro céu
Tenho, da volta e da ida, passagens perdidas, pra mim tanto faz
Já garimpei na igreja, na cama, na mesa, no ódio e na paz
Quis ser um Deus, mas a vida me fez só um homem
Pedras inúteis em ouro não sei transformar
As multidões fazem rios no meio do mundo
Pro garimpeiro viver da ilusão que encontrar
O tempo brincou, brincou, e o rio levou, levou
Levou o meu corpo cansado, a bateia vencida
Igual as formigas carregam a folha caída
O tempo brincou, brincou, e o rio levou, levou
Na correnteza, as nossas mãos quiseram tanto se encontrar
E o rio brincou, e o rio correu, levou pro mar
O tempo brincou, brincou, e o rio levou, levou
Levou o meu corpo cansado, a bateia vencida
Igual as formigas carregam a folha caída
O tempo brincou, brincou, e o rio levou, levou
Na correnteza, as nossas mãos quiseram tanto se encontrar
E o rio brincou, e o rio correu, levou pro mar
O tempo brincou, brincou, e o rio levou, levou
O tempo brincou, brincou, e o rio levou, levou
O tempo brincou, brincou, e o rio levou, levou
