O Mar Serenou
Clara Nunes Lyrics
O mar serenou quando ela pisou na areia
Quem samba na beira do mar é sereia
O pescador não tem medo
É segredo se volta ou se fica no fundo do mar
Ao ver a morena bonita sambando
Se explica que não vai pescar
Deixa o mar serenar
O mar serenou quando ela pisou na areia
Quem samba na beira do mar é sereia
A lua brilhava vaidosa
De si orgulhosa e prosa com que deus lhe deu
Ao ver a morena sambando
Foi se acabrunhando então adormeceu o sol apareceu
O mar serenou quando ela pisou na areia
Quem samba na beira do mar é sereia
Um frio danado que vinha
Do lado gelado que o povo até se intimidou
Morena aceitou o desafio Sambou
E o frio sentiu seu calor e o samba se esquentou
O mar serenou quando ela pisou na areia
Quem samba na beira do mar é sereia
A estrela que estava escondida
Sentiu-se atraída depois então apareceu
Mas ficou tão enternecida Indagou
A si mesma a estrela afinal será ela ou sou eu
O mar serenou quando ela pisou na areia
Quem samba na beira do mar é sereia
