Tudo em vorta é só beleza
Sol de Abril e a mata em frô
Mas Assum Preto, cego dos óio
Num vendo a luz, ai, canta de dor (2x)
Tarvez por ignorança
Ou mardade das pió
Furaro os óio do Assum Preto
Pra ele assim, ai, cantá de mió (2x)
Assum Preto veve sorto
Mas num pode avuá
Mil vezes a sina de uma gaiola
Desde que o céu, ai, pudesse oiá (2x)
Assum Preto, o meu cantar
É tão triste como o teu
Também roubaro o meu amor
Que era a luz, ai, dos óios meu
