Meu Deus! amanheceu
Se acaso ela voltar
Me diga o que fazer
P'ra gente não brigar
Não brigar
Meu Deus! meu coração
Vive a me torturar
Cansado de sofrer
De tanto te esperar
Esperar
A insônia leva-me à loucura
Faz da noite uma tortura
Quando se espera por alguém voltar
Onde anda aquela criatura?
A minha triste figura
É o retrato da desilusão
Dói no peito uma ingratidão
Eu não merecia isso, não
Volta, meu amor, tens o meu perdão
Não há motivo p'ra nossa separação
Por isso volta, meu amor
Tens o meu perdão
Ainda há tempo
P'ra reconciliação
