Mata o silêncio dos mates, a cordeona voz trocada
E a voz campeira do negro, passeando aveludada
Nos botões chora segredos, que ele juntou pela estrada
Quando o negro abre essa gaita
Abre o livro da sua vida
Marcado de poeira e pampa
Em cada nota sentida
Marcado de poeira e pampa
Em cada nota sentida
Quando o pai que foi gaiteiro, desta vida se ausentou
O negro piá solitário, tal como pedra rolou
E se fez homem proseando, com a gaita que o pai deixou
E a gaita se fez baú para causos e canções
Do negro que passa a vida, mastigando solidões
E vai semeando recuerdos, por estradas e galpões
Quando o negro abre essa gaita
Abre o livro da sua vida
Marcado de poeira e pampa
Em cada nota sentida
Marcado de poeira e pampa
Em cada nota sentida
