Lá perto de casa
Tinha uma moreninha
Que toda a tardezinha
Ia com a lata
Na fonte buscar água.
Morena, moreninha
Um dia não passou.
Morena, moreninha
Que caminho te levou?
Perguntei pela moreninha,
Os passos da moreninha
O caminho que andou.
Insisti, com muita espera,
Toda a tarde na janela,
Moreninha não passou.
Nunca mais passou.
Toda a tarde
Tá faltando uma lata d'água lá na fonte.
Toda a tarde
Tá faltando uma lata d'água subindo a rua.
Tempo comeu tempo
Anoitou, dia-diou, bis
Vento soprou vento
E o verão desinvernou.
Era tão doce o riso
Da moreninha que eu sou cantor
Era tão doce o riso
Que a moreninha desencantou.
E este tempo de hoje em dia
Que te deu assim ao tempo
Não teve tempo pra ver
Que era tempo de te olhar.
E de novo
Tempo tempou, dia-diou,
Verão desinvernou
Porta de igreja quem terminou
Dentro, quem começou.
