by Antônio Tavernard (1908 - 1936)

Foi bôto, sinhá!
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Tajá-Panema chorou no terreiro
E a virgem morena fugiu pro costeiro

Foi Bôto, Sinhá...
Foi Bôto, Sinhô!
Que veio tentá
E a moça levou
E o tar dansará,
Aquele doutô,
Foi Bôto, Sinhá...
Foi Bôto, Sinhô!

Tajá-panema se pôs a chorá.
Quem tem filha moça é bom vigiá!

O Bôto não dorme
No fundo do rio
Seu dom é enorme
Quem quer que o viu
Que diga, que informe
Se lhe resistiu
O Bôto não dorme
No fundo do rio...
