Maria
O teu nome principia
Na palma da minha mão
E cabe bem direitinho
Dentro do meu coração
Maria
Maria
De olhos claros, cor do dia
Como os de Nosso Senhor
Eu por vê-los tão de perto
Fiquei ceguinho de amor
Maria
No dia, minha querida
Em que juntinhos na vida
Nós dois nos quisermos bem
À noite, em nosso cantinho
Hei de chamar-te baixinho
Não hás de ouvir mais ninguém
Maria
Maria
Era o nome que eu dizia
Quando aprendi a falar
Da avozinha, coitadinha
Que eu não canso de chorar
Maria
E quando eu morar contigo
Tu hás de ver que perigo
Que isso vai ser, ai, meu Deus
Vai nascer todos os dias
Uma porção de Marias
De olhinhos da cor dos teus, Maria
Maria
