Quando a vi, ela trazia
Bem juntinho ao coração
Como um grito de alegria
Um cravo de são João
Passou por mim apressada
Da primeira vez que a vi
Achei a moça engraçada
E nunca mais a esqueci
Vinha bonita, com seu vestido de chita
Tinha uma graça infinita
Tinha um ar bem português
O meu olhar pousou nela como um beijo
E fiquei com o desejo
De a encontrar outra vez
Fez-me o destino a vontade
Novamente a encontrei
Mas pra dizer a verdade
Que diferente que eu a achei
Elegante no trajar
De luxo e ostentação
E uma orquídea no lugar
Do cravo de são joão
Vinha elegante num vestido extravagante
E tinha um ar petulante
Que cheirava a perdição
Naquela orquídea sua vida se resume
Porque perdeu o perfume
Do cravo de são João
