Olha as folias
Olha os congados
Venha depressa menina
Venha depressa menina
Olha o rei da nossa vida
Olha os pés da nossa vila
Venha depressa menina
Venha depressa menina
Olha a cor do chão da terra
Olha a dança que assovia
Pequena reza, santa e divina
Olha os reizados
Olha as cantigas
Venha depressa menina
Venha depressa menina
Olha o canto das lavadeiras
Olha a luz de lamparina
Venha depressa menina
Venha depressa menina
Olha a cor do chão da terra
Olha a dança que assovia
Pequena reza, santa e divina
A beleza dela
No caminho que me ensina
Olha o grão de pé de serra
Olha a estrela que ilumina
Os ritos vestem quimeras
E outra noite principia
Cantando o céu e a terra
Olha a estrela que anuncia
