... George Mello sing "Rosinha dos Limões."

[Song begins]

Quando ela passa, franzina e cheia de graça,
Há sempre um ar de chalaça, no seu olhar feiticeiro.
Lá vai catita, cada dia mais bonita,
E o seu vestido, de chita, tem sempre um ar domingueiro.
Passa ligeira, alegre e namoradeira,
E a sorrir, p'rá rua inteira, vai semeando ilusões.
Quando ela passa, vai vender limões à praça,
E até lhe chamam, por graça, a Rosinha dos limões.
Quando ela passa, junto da minha janela,
Meus olhos vão atrás dela até ver, da rua, o fim.
Com ar gaiato, ela caminha apressada,
Rindo por tudo e por nada, e às vezes sorri p'ra mim...
Quando ela passa, apregoando os limões,
A sós, com os meus botões, no vão da minha janela
Fico pensando, que qualquer dia, por graça,
Vou comprar limões à praça e depois, caso com ela!
Quando ela passa, apregoando os limões,
A sós, com os meus botões, no vão da minha janela
Fico pensando, que qualquer dia, por graça,
Vou comprar limões à praça e depois, caso com ela!

[Song ends]
