O vento desfolha a tarde
O vento desfolha a tarde
Como a dor desfolha o peito
Como a dor desfoha o peito.
Na roseira do meu peito
Na roseira do meu peito
Senhora meu bem fermosa
Senhora meu bem fermosa.
Vai-se a tarde ficam penas
Vai-se a tarde ficam penas
Na roseira do meu peito
Na roseira do meu peito.
Senhora por quem eu morro
Senhora por quem eu morro
Senhora meu bem fermosa
Senhora meu bem fermosa.
