Yo chorar choré o domingo a tarde,
Yo chorar choré o domingo a tarde,
Que veña lorenzo que veña lorenzo que diga a verdade,
Que diga a verdade pero con cautela,
Que diga a verdade pero con cautela,
Tua nai e meiga tua nai e meiga teño medo dela,
Teño medo dela e ela non me come,
Teño medo dela e ela non me come,
Tua nai e meiga, tua a nai e meiga teu pai un mal home,
Yo chorar choré o domingo a tarde,
Yo chorar choré o domingo a tarde,
Que veña lorenzo que veña lorenzo que diga a verdade,
Que diga a verdade pero con cautela, que diga a verdade pero con cautela
Tua nai e meiga, tua a nai e meiga teño medo dela,
Sube carreteiro sube que o carro vai voando,
Sube carreteiro sube que o mundo vai fogando,
O deixame subir o carro carreteiro o deixame subir o carro que me muero,
Morena por ti¡¡¡
Todo o mundo contra min morena por que te quiero,
Todo o mundo contra min y yo contra o mundo enteiro,
O deixame subir o carro carreteiro, o deixame subir o carro que me muero,
Morena por ti¡¡¡
A lailailaila....
Contra o mundo
Baixa milagreira sube, baixa sube baixa sube, sube milagreira sube, que o mundo vai fogando,
O deixame subir o carro carreteiro o deixame subir o carro que me muero
Morena por ti¡¡¡
Contra o mundo
