Maio maduro Maio, quem te pintou?
Quem te quebrou o encanto, nunca te amou.
Raiava o sol já no Sul.
E uma falua vinha lá de Istambul.
Sempre depois da sesta chamando as flores.
Era o dia da festa Maio de amores.
Era o dia de cantar.
E uma falua andava ao longe a varar.
Maio com meu amigo quem dera já.
Sempre no mês do trigo se cantará.
Qu'importa a fúria do mar.
Que a voz não te esmoreça vamos lutar.
Numa rua comprida El-rei pastor.
Vende o soro da vida que mata a dor.
Anda ver, Maio nasceu.
Que a voz não te esmoreça a turba rompeu.
