Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Lá em cima daquela serra,

On top of that hill,

Tem um canário cinzento,

There's a gray canary,

Ele canta todo dia,

He sings every day,

É o meu divertimento

It's my amusement


Mandei comprar uma gaiola,

I ordered to buy a cage,

Botei o canário dentro,

Put the canary inside,

Ao cabo de poucos dias,

After a few days,

Canário caiu doente

The canary fell ill


Mandei chamar o doutor,

I called the doctor,

Com a maleta na mão,

With the briefcase in hand,

Prá dar uma injeção,

To give an injection,

Na veia do coraçao

In the vein of the heart


Na primeira ou na segunda,

On the first or second,

Na terceira, estremeceu,

On the third, he shivered,

Na quarta, abriu o bico,

On the fourth, he opened his beak,

Na quinta, ele morreu

On the fifth, he died


Canário, se eu pudesse,

Canary, if I could,

Com toda dedicação,

With all dedication,

Cavava a tua cova,

I would dig your grave,

Dentro do meu coração

Inside my heart


Mandei fazer o enterro,

I ordered the burial,

Com pompas e muito luxo,

With pomp and much luxury,

Veio a gata da vizinha,

The neighbor's cat came,

Passou o canarim no bucho.

Ate the canary in a gulp
