Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Ó, menina bonita não dorme na cama

Oh, beautiful girl doesn't sleep in bed

Dorme na limeira, no colo da rama

She sleeps in the lime tree, in the lap of the branch

Meu xexéu de bananeira

My banana tree skirt

Cajueiro abaixa a rama

Cashew tree lowers its branch


Ó, menina bonita, formosa, brejeira

Oh, beautiful, charming, rustic girl

Que só sai de casa pra fazer a feira

Who only leaves home to go to the market

Arrastando a saia, levanta poeira

Draping her skirt, raising dust

Meu xexéu de bananeira

My banana tree skirt

Cajueiro abaixa a rama

Cashew tree lowers its branch
