English Translation

Vamos falar de Sá Maria,

Let's talk about Sá Maria,

vamos falar com singeleza, sim

let's talk with simplicity, yes


Sá Maria na beira do fogão,

Sá Maria by the stove,

cantava caxambu relembrando o seu torrão,

singing caxambu, remembering her homeland,

mas ela chorava pra voltar

but she cried to return,

estava sentindo saudades do seu lugar.

feeling nostalgic for her place.


Recordava do candongueiro

She remembered the candongueiro

batido com maestria por Pai João,

played with skill by Father João,

a só... que nesse tempo era moço

only... who at that time was a young man

e o som vibrava, em seu coração,

and the sound resonated in his heart,

com o negro João tirando som do candongueiro,

with black João making music from the candongueiro,

dentro do terreiro,

within the courtyard,

com a sua simpatia, fazendo vibrar

with his charm, making

o coração de Sá Maria.

Sá Maria's heart vibrate.
