by Mário de Andrade (1893 - 1945)

Quando eu morrer não me chores
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Quando eu morrer não me chores,
Deixo a vida sem sodade;
— Mandu sarará,
Tive por pai o desterro,
Por mãe a infelicidade,
— Mandu sarará...

Papai chegou e me disse:
— Não hás de ter um amor!
— Mandu sarará,
Mamãe veio e me botou
Um colar feito de dor,
— Mandu sarará...

Que o tatu prepare a cova
Dos seus dentes desdentados,
— Mandu sarará...
Para o mais desinfeliz
De todos os desgraçados,
— Mandu sarará...
