Sinhá

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Se a dona se banhou

Eu não estava lá

Por Deus Nosso Senhor

Eu não olhei Sinhá

Estava lá na roça

Sou de olhar ninguém

Não tenho mais cobiça

Nem enxergo bem

Para que me pôr no tronco

Para que me aleijar

Eu juro a vosmecê

Que nunca vi Sinhá

Por que me faz tão mal

Com olhos tão azuis

Me benzo com o sinal

Da santa cruz

Eu só cheguei no açude

Atrás da sabiá

Olhava o arvoredo

Eu não olhei Sinhá

Se a dona se despiu

Eu já andava além

Estava na moenda

Estava para Xerém

Para que talhar meu corpo

Eu não olhei Sinhá

Para que que vosmincê

Meus olhos vai furar

Eu choro em iorubá

Mas oro por Jesus

Para que que vassuncê

Me tira a luz

E assim vai se encerrar

O conto de um cantor

Com voz do pelourinho

E ares de senhor

Cantor atormentado

Herdeiro sarará

Do nome e do renome

De um feroz senhor de engenho

E das mandingas de um escravo

Que no engenho enfeitiçou Sinhá
