As Pedras São Testemunhas
O canhão dos ditadores , a pistola e o arcabuz
Curvaram a força da cruz na chacina em caiboaté
Tirou a vida de Sepé roubou a terra guarani
Matou o progresso daqui queimando os templos da fé
Mas ficaram testemunhas a contar para os mais novos
Do que foi os sete povos em cuja esquife ainda encerra
Da hediondez de uma guerra a odiosa saga assassina
Quando as aves de rapina mancharam de sangue a terra
Cada pedra é testemunha da chegada do inimigo
Também doduro castigo dos rebencassos do clima
Nos falam da obra prima que os índios edificaram
Até que os bárbaros chegaram e pisotearam por cima
(Se essas pedras falassem gritariam sua agonia
Em protesto a tirania das hienas invasoras
Que com a força demolidora do satânico estrangeiro
Expulsou o povo missioneiro desta terra promissora)
Cada pedra dessas ruínas soluça o acontecido
O vento chora em gemidos pelos caminhos que passa
O bamburral se entrelaça com nefasto sentimento
Num funeral de lamentos do que restou de uma raça.
