Madalena, o meu peito percebeu
que o mar é uma gota
comparado ao pranto meu
fique certa, quando o nosso amor desperta
logo o sol se desespera
e se esconde lá na serra
Madalena, o que é meu não se divide
nem tão pouco se admite
quem do nosso amor duvide
até a lua se arrisca num palpite
que o nosso amor existe
forte ou fraco
alegre ou triste
Oh Ma, Oh Mada, Oh Madale, Oh Madalelelelena
Oh Ma, Oh Mada, Oh Madale, Oh Madalelelelena
Oh Mada, Mada, Mada, Oh Madalena, Oh Madalelelelena
