Mineirinha Lyrics Translation in English
Mano WalterPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Mineirinha me pediu
Little girl from Minas Gerais asked me
Dois vestidos delicados
For two delicate dresses
Eu olhei pra ela e disse
I looked at her and said
Deixe eu vender meu gado
Let me sell my cattle
Que o vestido eu já comprei
Because the dress, I've already bought
Mas o boiadeiro está quebrado
But the cowboy is broke
O meu burro está selado
My donkey is saddled
Foi o Branco quem selou
Branco was the one who saddled it
Atravesso o rio a nado
I'll cross the river swimming
Só nao deixo o meu amor
I just won't leave my love
Mineirinha eu vou embora
Little girl from Minas Gerais, I'm leaving
Eu vou falar com meu amor
I'm going to talk to my love
Se de um lado tem batuque
If on one side there's drumming
Do outro lado também tem
On the other side, there is too
Atravesso o rio a nado
I'll cross the river swimming
Só a fim de ver meu bem
Just to see my love
Mineirinha eu vou embora
Little girl from Minas Gerais, I'm leaving
Na outra semana que vem
Next week
Tire as pedras do caminho
Remove the stones from the path
Mande varrer a estrada
Sweep the road
E deixe tudo limpinho
And leave everything neat
Sereno da madrugada
Early morning dew
Mineirinha eu vou embora
Little girl from Minas Gerais, I'm leaving
Eu vou vender minha boiada
I'm going to sell my cattle
