from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

São João‑da‑ra‑rão
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
São João-da-ra-rão tem uma gaita-ra-rai-ta
Quando to-co-ro-ca bate nela;
Todos os anja-ra-ranjos tocam gaita-ra-rai-ta,
Tocam tan-ta-ra-ran-to aqui na terra.
Lá no cente-re-ren-to da aveni-di-ri-ri-da
Tem xaró-po-ro-rópe escorregou;
Agarou-sô-rô-rou-se em meu vesti-di-ri-ri-do
Deu uma pré-gé-ré-ré-ga e me deixou:
Maria, tu vai ao baile,
Tu leva o xale, que vai chovê,
E depois de madrugada, ai! ai!
Toda molhada, ai! ai!
Tu vai morrê.

São João-da-ra-rão

Maria, tu vai casares
Eu vou te dares, os parabéns
Vou te dares uma prenda: ai! ai!
Saia de renda, ai! ai!
E dois vinténs, ai! ai! ai!
