Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Casinha de bambuê

Little house of bamboo

Forrada de bambuá

Lined with bamboo mats

Auê, auê, auê

Auê, auê, auê

Auê, auê, auá

Auê, auê, auá


Menina diga teu nome

Girl, tell me your name

que eu quero dizer o meu

So I can tell you mine

Eu me chamo Seda Fina

My name is Seda Fina

daquele vestido teu

From that dress of yours


Menina dos olhos pretos

Girl with black eyes

Sobrancelhas de veludo

Eyebrows like velvet

Se teu pai for muito pobre

If your father is very poor

Tua beleza vale tudo

Your beauty is worth everything


Fui no campo colher flor

I went to the field to pick flowers

Todo o campo floresceu

The whole field bloomed

Colhi a flor roxinha

I picked the little purple flower

Que é triste como eu

That is as sad as I am


Menina não diga isso

Girl, don't say that

Deus pode lhe castigar

God may punish you

Faz arruda botar fulô

Make rue bloom with flowers

E as ondas do mar secar

And the waves of the sea dry up


Muito bem essa palavra

Very well, those words

Que você me disse agora

That you just told me

Mereceu comer galinha

Deserved to eat chicken

E "docim" de hora em hora

And "docim" every hour
