Morena

Quantas vezes eu dormi no teu colo
Ouvindo o berro do gado no curral
Minha Morena eu fiz essa cantilena
Pra ver se consigo sarar esse mal

Era tão bonita tua voz pelo sereno
Era que nem veneno, cachoeira à me afogar
Só o que fica da saudade é o desatino
E eu feito um menino teu amor a procurar...

Quantas vezes eu dormi no teu colo
Ouvindo o berro do gado no curral
Minha Morena eu fiz essa cantilena
Pra ver se consigo sarar esse mal

Era tão bonita tua voz pelo sereno
Era que nem veneno, cachoeira à me afogar




Só o que fica da saudade é o desatino
E eu feito um menino teu amor a procurar...
