Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Fui chamado em uma festa, na fazenda Mantibeira

I was invited to a party at Mantibeira farm

Festeiro muito cortês, me recebeu na porteira

A very courteous host welcomed me at the gate

Ele me cumprimentou e me levou lá no salão

He greeted me and took me to the hall

O povo me aplaudiu, ai, ai, ai e cantaram essa canção

People applauded me, oh, oh, oh, and they sang this song


Peneirou balão, peneirou no ar

Sifted the balloon, sifted in the air

Peneirou balão de seda, foi cair dentro do mar

Sifted the silk balloon, it fell into the sea

Peneirou balão, peneirou no ar

Sifted the balloon, sifted in the air

Peneirou balão de seda, foi cair dentro do mar

Sifted the silk balloon, it fell into the sea


Eu comecei a cantar, o baile ficou animado

I started to sing, the dance became lively

Deram chá quente pros velhos e amendoim torrado

They gave hot tea to the old folks and roasted peanuts

Pra tocar xote e rancheira, eles pediam pra mim

To play xote and rancheira, they asked me

Dançando eles cantavam, ai, ai, ai, aquela canção assim

Dancing, they sang, oh, oh, oh, that song like this


Peneirou balão, peneirou no ar

Sifted the balloon, sifted in the air

Peneirou balão de seda, foi cair dentro do mar

Sifted the silk balloon, it fell into the sea

Peneirou balão, peneirou no ar

Sifted the balloon, sifted in the air

Peneirou balão de seda, foi cair dentro do mar

Sifted the silk balloon, it fell into the sea


O dia foi clareando, despedi pra ir embora

The day was dawning, said goodbye to leave

Uma morena bonita me disse não vai agora

A beautiful brunette told me not to go now

Meu coração deu balanço quando aproximou de mim

My heart swayed when she approached me

Eu nos braços da morena, ai, ai, ai, saí cantando assim

In the arms of the brunette, oh, oh, oh, I left singing like this


Peneirou balão, peneirou no ar

Sifted the balloon, sifted in the air

Peneirou balão de seda, foi cair dentro do mar

Sifted the silk balloon, it fell into the sea

Peneirou balão, peneirou no ar

Sifted the balloon, sifted in the air

Peneirou balão de seda, foi cair dentro do mar

Sifted the silk balloon, it fell into the sea
