Ama e lança chamas
Assovia quando bebe
Canta quando espanta
Mal olhado, azar e febre
Sonha colorido
Adivinha em preto e branco
Anda bem vestido
De cartola e de tamanco
Dorme com cachorro
Com um gato e um cavaquinho
Dizem lá no morro
Que fala com passarinho
Desde de pequenino
Chora rindo
Olha pra nada
Diz que o céu é lindo
Na boca da madrugada
Sabe medicina
Aprendeu com sua avó
Analfabetina
Que domina como só
Plantas e outros ramos
Da flora medicinal
Com 108 anos
Nunca entrou num hospital
Joga capoeira
Nunca brigou com ninguém
Xepa lá na feira
Divide com quem não tem
Faz tudo o que sente
Nada do que tem é seu
Vive do presente
Acende a vela no breu
