 Bb                                                                   D7                                       Eb 
A luz da noite quando desce sobre o campo
                               D7                                 Gm                         F7                     Bb 
Mais parece abrir um manto de estrelas a brilhar -
                                                                                                         Cm 
O firmamento de azul todo enfeitado,
                                                                 F7                                                             Bb 
É um vestido salpicado de brilhantes ao luar!
                                                                             D7                                       Eb 
E como é lindo a gente ver ao céu aberto
                             D7                                   Gm                                 F7                                       Bb 
O sertão sendo encoberto, do esplendor que é todo seu!
                           Cm                                                                       Bb 
Tudo surgindo com requintes de beleza
                         G7                                 Cm                       F7                           Bb 
A mostrar que a natureza, só podia vir de Deus!
 Bb                                                                       D7                       Eb 
Aqui em baixo todo o campo orvalhado
                                 D7                     Gm                               F7                   Bb 
Faz um céu todo azulado em perfeita imitação -
                                                                                                       Cm 
Os pirilampos com ciúme das estrelas
                                                                               F7                                                             Bb 
Vão tentando convence-las que são estrelas no chão!
                                                                                       D7                           Eb 
As muitas flores, qual noturnas namoradas
                 D7                                           Gm                             F7                             Bb 
Vão se abrindo perfumadas, transbordantes de amor
                                               Cm                                                                 Bb 
Mas logo adiante quando o sol romper o dia
                         G7                       Cm                               F7                           Bb 
Vão dizer que queriam se arrumar pro beija flor!
 Bb                                                               D7                       Eb 
Clareando o dia é o sol que prevalece
                                     D7                         Gm                               F7                   Bb 
Desde a hora que amanhece até um novo entardecer,
                                                                                                     Cm 
As borboletas, flores vivas revoando,
                                                         F7                                                             Bb 
São matizes adornando nossos rios a correr!
                                                                                   D7                           Eb 
Tudo se passa neste mundo deslumbrante
                           D7                   Gm                                     F7                   Bb 
O tesouro verdejante que tem nome de sertão!
                                       Cm                                                                 Bb 
Onde o caboclo a cada estrela que aparece
                                       G7                       Cm                             F7                     Bb 
Canta versos de uma prece, que lhe sai do coração!
             F7                                                                                                           Bb 
Sertão... Sertão... berço que   me   viu nascer,
           F7                                                                                       Bb 
Sertão... Sertão... catarei até morrer!
