Maria
Nascida no monte
À beira da estrada
Maria
Bebida na fonte
Nas ervas criada
Talvez
Que Maria se 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
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
Maria
Sol de madrugada
Flor de tangerina
