English Translation
Ó, ó dona Chiquinha
Oh, oh, Mrs. Chiquinha
Passarinho deu no ninho
A little bird landed in the nest
Na roça da fazendinha
In the field of the little farm
Ó, ó dona Chiquinha
Oh, oh, Mrs. Chiquinha
Toca os passarinhos
Play with the little birds
Senão come a canjiquinha
Or else they'll eat the cornmeal
Ó, ó dona Chiquinha
Oh, oh, Mrs. Chiquinha
Passarinho deu no ninho
A little bird landed in the nest
Na roça da fazendinha
In the field of the little farm
Ó, ó dona Chiquinha
Oh, oh, Mrs. Chiquinha
Toca os passarinhos
Play with the little birds
Senão come a canjiquinha
Or else they'll eat the cornmeal
Passarinho bateu asa
The bird flapped its wings
Na beira do caminho
On the edge of the path
Voou, voou, voou
Flew, flew, flew
E foi pousar lá no moinho
And landed there at the mill
Fiquei só espiando
I stayed just watching
O que fazia os passarinhos
What the little birds were doing
Pegava os grão de milho
They picked up grains of corn
E carregava pro seu ninho
And carried them to their nest
Ó, ó dona Chiquinha
Oh, oh, Mrs. Chiquinha
Passarinho deu no ninho
A little bird landed in the nest
Na roça da fazendinha
In the field of the little farm
Ó, ó dona Chiquinha
Oh, oh, Mrs. Chiquinha
Toca os passarinhos
Play with the little birds
Senão come a canjiquinha
Or else they'll eat the cornmeal
Passarinho bateu asa
The bird flapped its wings
Na beira do caminho
On the edge of the path
Voou, voou, voou
Flew, flew, flew
E foi pousar lá no moinho
And landed there at the mill
Fiquei só espiando
I stayed just watching
O que fazia os passarinhos
What the little birds were doing
Pegava os grão de milho
They picked up grains of corn
E carregava pro seu ninho
And carried them to their nest
Ó, ó dona Chiquinha
Oh, oh, Mrs. Chiquinha
Passarinho deu no ninho
A little bird landed in the nest
Na roça da fazendinha
In the field of the little farm
Ó, ó dona Chiquinha
Oh, oh, Mrs. Chiquinha
Toca os passarinhos
