Clareira na noite, na noite
Procissão deserta, deserta
Nas portas da arquidiocese desse meu país
Procissão deserta, deserta
Homens e mulheres na noite
Homens e mulheres na noite desse meu país
Nessa praça não me esqueço
E onde era o novo fez-se o velho
Colonial vazio
Nessas tardes não me esqueço
E onde era o vivo fez-se o morto
Aviso pedra fria
Acabaram com o beco
Mas ninguém lá vai morar
Cheio de lembranças vem o povo
Do fundo escuro do beco
Nessa clara praça se dissolver
Pedra, padre, ponte, muro
E um som cortando a noite escura
Colonial vazia
Pelas sombras da cidade
Hino de estranha romaria
Lamento água viva
Acabaram com o beco...
Procissão deserta, deserta
Homens e mulheres na noite
Homens e mulheres na noite desse meu país
Na porta do beco estamos
Procissão deserta, deserta
Nas portas da arquidiocese desse meu país
Diamantina é o Beco do Mota
Minas é o Beco do Mota
Brasil é o Beco do Mota
