Maria
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.
Maria, nascida no monte à beira da estrada
Maria, bebida na fonte, nas ervas criada
Talvez que Maria s’espante de ser tão louvada
Mas não, quem por ela se prende, de a ver tão prendada
Maria, nascida no trevo, criada no trigo
Quem dera Maria, que o trevo casara comigo
Prouvera a Maria sem medo, crer no que lhe digo
Maria, nascida no trevo, beiral do mendigo
Maria, de todas primeira, de todas menina
Maria, soubera a cigana ler a tua sina
Não sei se deveras se engana quem demais se afina
Maria, Sol da madrugada, flor de tangerina
