ZÉ Baixinho Lyrics Translation in English
Adoniran Barbosa
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Zé baixinho,
Zé Baixinho,
Que morava no barraco
Who lived in a shack
Barraco cheio de buraco
Shack full of holes
Buraco feito pelo rato
Holes made by the mouse
Que morava com zé baixinho no barraco
Who lived with Zé Baixinho in the shack
Chuveiro no barraco não existia
There was no shower in the shack
Banho de zé baixinho só de bacia
Bathing for Zé Baixinho was only in a basin
O zé tinha uma alegria
Zé had a joy
A alegria de zé baixinho era maria
Zé Baixinho's joy was Maria
Uma noite o zé baixinho chegou
One night Zé Baixinho arrived
A notícia logo se espalhou
The news quickly spread
O barraco do zé baixinho queimou
Zé Baixinho's shack burned down
Maria que dormia não acordou
Maria, who was sleeping, did not wake up
Para o céu deus a levou
To heaven, God took her
Para o céu deus a levou
To heaven, God took her
Maria...
Maria...
Maria...
Maria...
Para o céu deus a levou!.
To heaven, God took her!
