Quando menino, num tempo lindo
Semeei o destino
Na flor da terra, por entre as pedras
Num campo fino
Igual pau ferro, cresci como cerne
Para não ter fim
Mas o pau ferro tem um lado frágil
E eu sou bem assim
No chão da vida, nos caraguatás
Ficou a verdade
Eu desenraízo quando bate o vento
Da tua saudade
Eu desenraízo quando bate o vento
Da tua saudade
No chão da vida, nos caraguatás
Ficou a verdade
Quando menino, num tempo lindo
Semeei o destino
Na flor da terra, por entre as pedras
Num campo fino
Igual pau ferro, cresci como cerne
Para não ter fim
Mas o pau ferro tem um lado frágil
E eu sou bem assim
No chão da vida, nos caraguatás
Ficou a verdade
Eu desenraízo quando bate o vento
Da tua saudade
Eu desenraízo quando bate o vento
Da tua saudade
No chão da vida, entre os caraguatás
Ficou a verdade
Respeitem minhas lembranças
Que juntei nas campereadas
Com elas, tantas memórias
Cercas, limites, estradas
Herdei o cerne e o respeito
No chão das nossas oladas
