Aqui já são 4 e meia e a gente levanta
Faz fogo, lasca lenha, vai no roçado e planta
E a passarada se põe a cantar
E o céu a clarear
Minha senhora coa o café enquanto lá no terreiro
As galinhas desperta, o galo canta certeiro
O Sol já vem chegando e o terreno esquentando
Debaixo dessa mangueira estendi minha rede
Trouxe jurubeba pra matar minha sede
Meu fumo de rolo, meu violão
Agradeço a Deus por ter essa vida modesta
Por que na natureza todo dia é uma festa
Com o céu estrelado aqui no sertão
E no meu quintal as fruta tão sempre madura
Da cela do meu cavalo só vejo fartura
Os feixes de cana, garapa coar
Na lagoa pular
A tarde quando o Sol se esconde nós tranca a porteira
Olhando os vagalume parecendo estrela
E a brisa assobia, traz chuva e alegria
Debaixo dessa mangueira estendi minha rede
Trouxe jurubeba pra matar minha sede
Meu fumo de rolo, meu violão
Agradeço a Deus por ter essa vida modesta
Por que na natureza todo dia é uma festa
Com o céu estrelado aqui no sertão
