Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

O fole roncou no alto da serra

The accordion roared on top of the mountain

Cabroeira da minha terra

Cabroeira from my land

Subiu a ladeira e foi brincar

Went up the hill and started playing


O Zé Buraco, Pé-de-Foice, Chico Manco

Zé Buraco, Pé-de-Foice, Chico Manco

Peba Macho, Bode Branco

Peba Macho, Bode Branco

Todo mundo foi brincar

Everyone went to play

Maria Doida, Margarida Florisbela

Maria Doida, Margarida Florisbela

Muito triste na janela, não dançou

Very sad by the window, didn't dance

Não quis entrar

Didn't want to enter


Naquela noite me grudei com Juventina

That night I stuck with Juventina

E o suspiro da menina era de arrepiar

And the girl's sigh was spine-chilling

Baião bonito tão gostoso e alcoviteiro

Beautiful and delicious country dance, a matchmaker

Que apagou o candeeiro pro forró se animar

That turned off the lamp for the forró to liven up


Naquela noite eu fugi com Juventina

That night I eloped with Juventina

Quem mandou a concertina

Who sent the concertina

Meu juízo revirar

To turn my mind upside down

Eu sei que morro de bala de carabina

I know I'll die from a rifle bullet

Mas o amor da Juventina me

But Juventina's love

Dá forças pra brigar

Gives me strength to fight
