by Antônio Tavernard (1908 - 1936)

Matinta‑perêra
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Matintaperêra
chegou na clareira
e logo silvou...
No fundo do quarto manduca
Torquato de medo gelou.
Matinta quer fumo
quer fumo migado, meloso,
melado que dê muito sumo,
Torquato não pita,
não masca nem cheira,
Matintaperêra vai tê-la bonita...
Matintaperêra de tardinha bem buscar
O tabaco que ontem à noite eu prometi:
Queira Deus ela não venha me agoirar...
Ah! Matinta Preta Velha,
Mãe Maluca,
Pé-de-pato,
Queira Deus ela não venha me agoirar...
Matintaperêra
chegou na clareira
e logo silvou...
No fundo do quarto manduca
Torquato de medo gelou.
Que noite infernal,
soaram gemidos, resmungos,
bulidos do gênio do mal
e até de manhã,
bem perto da choça
a fúnebre troça
dum vesgo acauan
acauan acauan!
