1978
Meu rumo foi traçado na palma de uma palmeira
Ai, ai, ai, ai, na beira do Paraíba do Sul, do Sul
Brinquei nos canaviais, brinquei nos canaviais, brinquei...
Sou cana caiana, sou cana caiana
Sou cana caiana, dono dos canaviais. (Repete)
Cintura fina, pé de moleque, cheirando a doce de coco
Feito num tacho dourado.
Cheirando a doce de coco feito num tacho dourado.
Pele macia, cor de canela, escravo, cigano, menino,
Melaço de beijo roubado.
Escravo, cigano, menino, melaço de beijo roubado.
Sou ouro negro de Campos, dono dos canaviais.
(Repete II 2x, III, IV e II 2x)
