A ema gemeu no tronco do Jurema
A ema gemeu no tronco do Jurema
Foi um sinal bem triste, morena
Fiquei a imaginar
Será que é o nosso amor, morena
Que vai se acabar?
Você bem sabe que a ema quando canta
Traz no meio do seu canto um bocado de azar
Eu tenho medo, morena, eu tenho medo
Pois acho que é muito cedo
Pra esse amor se acabar
Vem, morena, vem, vem, vem
Me beijar, me beijar
Dá um beijo, dá um beijo
Pra esse medo se acabar
Vem, morena, vem, vem, vem
Me beijar, me beijar
Dá um beijo, dá um beijo
Pra esse medo se acabar
