Certo dia sobre a areia
Vi a maré cheia seus versos levar
Tive medo das palavras sábias
Carregadas pro fundo do mar
Pega o remo, solta a rede
Quem o vê não sabe
O que em sua mente vai
Falou de tormentas, segredos e lendas
Contou-me que o mar não trai
O velho e o mar, o velho e o mar
O velho e o mar, tua canoa não vai virar
Sua casa é palha, seu calçado areia
Come o que a rede dá
Tem as mãos pesadas pra conter as fragas
E as águas desafiar
Mas seu peito é leve como a gaivota
Que o ensina onde atracar
Seus cabelos brancos têm do sal o cheiro
Como as ondas a espumar
O velho e o mar, o velho e o mar
O velho e o mar, tua canoa não vai virar
