Minha morena
Minha flor de laranjeira
Minha canção brasileira
Doce fruta de quintal
Minha pequena
Indiazinha feiticeira
Minha santa Padroeira
Minha cruz, meu bem meu mal
A tua pele morena tem cheiro e gosto de saúde
Na tua boca a juçara, pintou esse roxo mais lindo que vi
Jabuticaba teus olhos, morena, anoitecendo o sertão
É deles a claridade que alumeia a cidade e que há no teu coração
Moça bonita
Nascida na Lua cheia
Doce menina, mulher, incendeia
Misteriosa paixão
Não acredita
Quem te vê assim brejeira
Que tens a força da onça matreira
Pisando leve no chão
Como eu queria abraçar o teu corpo, tocar o teu coração
Voar no céu da tua boca, tirar tua roupa, te amar pelo chão
E se algum dia eu quisesse, morena, no M da tua mão
Saber teu nome eu diria: Maria, Maria... O nome dessa canção
