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
