Tava na beira do rio
Esperando a minha amada prá sambar
Tava na margem do Amazonas
Como vai, como passou Sinhá Dona
Deus lhe dê boa noite Sinhá Dona
Menina linda, por que me olha?
Se me conhece, por que não me namora?
Menina linda, por que me olha?
Se me conhece, por que não me namora?
Você matou meu sabiá
Rosa morena eu vou prá ribeira sambar
Mandei selar meu cavalo
Na hora de eu viajar
Peguei a mão da morena
Ela se pôs a chorar
Não chora não moreninha
Eu vou mas torno a voltar
Deixo um abraço apertado
Que é prá de mim se alembrar
Moreno quando tu fôr
Me leva
