Chamava-se Catarina
O Alentejo a viu nascer
Serranas viram-na em vida
Baleizao a viu morrer
Ceifeiras na manha fria
Flores na campa lhe vao pôr
Ficou vermelha a campina
Do sangue que entao brotou
Acalma o furor campina
Que o teu pranto nao findou
Quem viu morrer Catarina
Nao perdoa a quem matou
Aquela pomba tao branca
Todos a querem p'ra si
O Alentejo queimado
Ninguém se lembra de ti
Aquela andorinha negra
Bate as asas p'ra voar
O Alentejo esquecido
Inda um dia hás-de cantar
