by Mário de Andrade (1893 - 1945)

A moça Camalalô
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
A moça Camalalô
Foi no mato colher fruta.
A manhã fresca de orvalho 
Era quase noturna.
- Ah...
Era quase noturna...

Num galho de tarumã
Estava um homem cantando.
A moça sai do caminho 
Pra escutar o canto.
- Ah...
Ela escuta o canto...

Enganada pelo escuro
Camalalô fala pro homem:
Ariti, me dá uma fruta
Que eu estou com fome.
- Ah...
Estava com fome...

O homem rindo secundou:
- Zuimaalúti se engana,
Pensa que sou ariti?
Eu sou o Pai-do-Mato.

Era o Pai-do-Mato!
