by Xisto Bahia (1841 - 1894)

Iaiá, você quer morrer?
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Iaiá, você quer morrer?
Quando morrer, morramos juntos
Que eu quero ver como cabe
Numa cova dois defuntos 
  Isto é bom, isto é bom, isto é bom que dói

A saia da Carolina
Me custou cinco mil reis
Arrasta, mulata, a saia
Que eu dou mais cinco e são dez
  Isto é bom...

Mulata, levanta a saia
Não deixa a renda arrastar
A saia custa dinheiro
Dinheiro custa ganhar
  Isto é bom...

Os rapazes gostam de moças
E os solteiros também
Eu como sou rapaz solteiro
Gosto mais do que ninguém
  Isto é bom...
