2. Ai que linda moça
 (Sung text)

Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Ai que linda moça
sai d'aquela choça,
loira e engraçada
leva arregaçada
a saia encarnada
de chita grosseira

E cantarolando
vai gentil guiando,
seu ditoso gado,
seu rebanho amado
sempre enamorado
da canção fagueira

Tudo são tristezas
tristezas e dor
tudo são tristezas
para o meu amor
