lyrics

Pelos confins da aurora
Mora uma bela senhora
Que se chama, Dona Flor
Dona Flor é tão bacana
E de rosas ela emana
Um suave, e leve odor

Sua casa é um palácio
Sempre aberto aos que chegam
À procura do amor
E os bosques são de um verde
Que quem não vê, não acredita
As árvores todas copadas
São com seus frutos benditas

Pelos confins da aurora
Mora a bela senhora
Que se chama, Dona Flor
Dona Flor é tão querida
E de lírios é vestida
Sorrindo para esta vida

Dona Flor adora a paz
E nas guerras se disfaz
Em fumaça amarela
Vai levar a toda gente
Uma mensagem singela
Pedindo para acabar
Com esta guerra tão má

E quando a paz volta
Dona Flor volta com ela
E de lírios broncos se veste
E vive a vida dela
