English Translation

Oh Severina vá na barra da cangaia

Oh Severina, go to the edge of the cangaia

Traga pedra, o fuzil e meu cigarro de palha

Bring stones, the rifle, and my straw cigar

Corre menina, vai depressa e chame Roque

Run girl, go quickly and call Roque

Diga ele que me traga algodão num corrimboque

Tell him to bring me cotton in a corrimboque


Traga um pouquinho, vá poupando meu paiol

Bring a little bit, save some in my shed

Só quero que traga um tanto de botar no matricó

I only want him to bring enough to put in the matricó

Deixa reserva de Zefa fazer pavio

Leave a reserve of Zefa to make wicks

Que também quer outro tanto pro fuso para fazer fio

She also wants another amount for the spindle to make thread

Para Mané fazer cordão para botar no currupio

For Mané to make a cord to put in the currupio
