Se a pedra é dura
È dura de quebrar
Coração que nao bambeia
Hoje tem que bambear,
Eu pisei na pedra
E a pedra balanceou
O mundo estava torto
E pai joao indireitou
Eu pisei na pedra
E a pedra balanceou
O mundo estava torto
E pai joao indireitou
É Pai Joao é quem abre os caminhos
Pai Joao é quem abre o gonga
Segura sua candira meu Pai Joao
Nao deixa esse goga virar
Segura sua candira meu Pai Joao
Nao deixa esse gonga virar
