Velha da terra morena
Pensa que e já lua cheia
Vela que a onda condena
Feita em pedaços na areia
Saia rota
Subindo a estrada
Inda a noite
Rompendo vem
A mulher
Pega na braçada
De erva fresca
Supremo bem
Canta a rola
Numa ramada
Pela estrada
Vai a mulher
Meu senhor
Nesta caminhada
Nem m'alembra
Do amanhecer
Há quem viva
Sem dar por nada
Há quem morra
Sem tal saber
Velha ardida
Velha queimada
Vende a fruta
Se queres comer
A noitinha
A mulher alcança
Quem lhe compra
Do seu manjar
Para dar
À cabrinha mansa
Erva fresca
Da cor do mar
Na calçada
Uma mancha negra
Cobriu tudo
E ali ficou
Anda, velha
Da saia preta
Flor que ao vento
No chão tombou
No Inverno
Terás fartura
Da erva fora
Supremo bem
Canta rola
Tua amargura
Manhã moça
.. nunca mais vem
José Manuel Cerqueira Afonso dos Santos, known professionally as Zeca Afonso (Lisbon, 1929 – Lisbon, 1987), was one of the most influential singer-songwriters in Portugal.

Afonso began his career in the 1950s, collaborating with various orchestras and musical groups.
