by Orlando Teixeira (1875 - 1901)

Xácara
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Don'Alva, minha Senhora
Que tanto amor me inspirais,
Hei de querer-vos, embora
Don'Alva, não queirais.
Pois o querer-vos agora
Eu prefiro a tudo o mais,


Don'Alva minha Senhora
Que tanto amor me inspirais,

Don'Alva, minha Senhora,
Dona de risos fatais,
Alegre, gárrula mora
Como um bando de zagais

Nos vossos olhos a Aurora;
E em trevas me mergulhais,
Don'Alva minha senhora,
Dona de risos fatais.

Don'Alva minha senhora,
Senhora de olhos mortais.
Tanto esta alma vos adora
Tanto me desadorais!

Seja! Este amor não descora
Muito embora o maldigais,
Don'Alva, minha Senhora,
Senhora de olhos mortais.
(Ah...)
