Ai, o meu amor, a sua dor, a nossa vida
Já não cabem na batida
Do meu pobre cavaquinho
Ai, Quem me dera
Pelo menos um momento
Juntar todo sofrimento
Pra botar nesse chorinho
Ai, quem me dera ter um choro de alto porte
Pra cantar com a voz bem forte
E anunciar a luz do dia
Mas quem sou eu
Pra cantar alto assim na praça
Se vem dia, dia passa
E a praça fica mais vazia
Vem, morena
Não me despreza mais, não
Meu choro é coisa pequena
Mas roubado a duras penas
Do coração
Meu chorinho
Não é uma solução
Enquanto eu cantar sozinho
Quem cruzar o meu caminho
Não para não
Mas eu insisto
E quem quiser que me compreenda
Até que alguma luz acenda, este meu canto continua
Junto meu canto a cada pranto, a cada choro
Até que alguém me faça coro pra cantar na rua
