Água que nasce na fonte
Serena do mundo
E que abre um
Profundo grotão
Água que faz inocente
Riacho e deságua
Na corrente do ribeirão

Águas escuras dos rios
Que levam
A fertilidade ao sertão
Águas que banham aldeias
E matam a sede da população

Águas que caem das pedras
No véu das cascatas
Ronco de trovão
E depois dormem tranqüilas
No leito dos lagos
No leito dos lagos

Água dos igarapés
Onde Iara, a mãe d'água
É misteriosa canção
Água que o sol evapora
Pro céu vai embora
Virar nuvens de algodão

Gotas de água da chuva
Alegre arco-íris
Sobre a plantação
Gotas de água da chuva
Tão tristes, são lágrimas
Na inundação

Águas que movem moinhos
São as mesmas águas
Que encharcam o chão
E sempre voltam humildes
Pro fundo da terra
Pro fundo da terra

Terra! Planeta Água
Terra! Planeta Água
Terra! Planeta Água

Água que nasce na fonte
Serena do mundo
E que abre um
Profundo grotão
Água que faz inocente
Riacho e deságua
Na corrente do ribeirão

Águas escuras dos rios
Que levam a fertilidade ao sertão
Águas que banham aldeias
E matam a sede da população

Águas que movem moinhos
São as mesmas águas
Que encharcam o chão
E sempre voltam humildes
Pro fundo da terra
Pro fundo da terra

Terra! Planeta Água
Terra! Planeta Água
Terra! Planeta Água
Terra! Planeta Água
Terra! Planeta Água
Terra! Planeta Água

Guilherme Arantes

Guilherme Arantes (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɡiˈʎɛxmi aˈrãtʃis]) is a Brazilian singer-songwriter and pianist. As a teenager, he was a member of the band Os Polissonantes, which also featured Brazilian actor Kadu Moliterno on Bass guitar.
