Sonhei que vivia cem anos atrás
E vi pai João ainda rapaz
Viçosa e bonita eu vi mãe Maria
Se fosse verdade que bom que seria
Na grande varanda da vasta fazenda
Eu vi tinha moça de bata de renda
Na fria senzala eu vi os escravos
Que foram na guerra exemplo de bravo
Meus olhos se abriram do sonho acordei
Voltando a verdade da vida chorei
Não vi pai João que a guerra levou
Nem vi mãe Maria que o céu reclamou
Em tempos gemidos tristonho das redes
Senti no silêncio das frias paredes
Não sei como um sonho tão bom
Se desfaz viver eu quisera cem anos atrás
