Xexéu de Bananeira Lyrics Translation in English
Sebastião do Rojão
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Ó, menina bonita não dorme na cama
Oh, beautiful girl, don'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's Xexéu
Cajueiro abaixa a rama
The cashew tree lowers its branches
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
Dragging her skirt, raising dust
Meu xexéu de bananeira
My banana tree's Xexéu
Cajueiro abaixa a rama
The cashew tree lowers its branches
