Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

O cavaquinho me chama

The cavaquinho calls me

O bandolim reclama

The mandolin complains

Mas eu continuo na flauta

But I continue with the flute

E o pandeiro toca faceiro

And the pandeiro plays merrily

Sabe da minha mania?

Do you know my habit?

Sou chorona de dar dó

I'm a crybaby, it's pitiful

Tenho banzo e melancolia,

I have homesickness and melancholy

Morena, tem pena

Brunette, have pity


Em roda de choro

In the circle of choro

O coração salta feliz

The heart jumps happily

Bate leve e caprichoso

Beats lightly and capriciously

Leva jeito de aprendiz

Takes on the air of an apprentice

Nesse pedacinho de céu

In this little piece of heaven

Morena põe quebranto

Brunette, cast a spell

Malandro desfila de anel

The rogue parades with a ring

Carioquinha exibe o canto

The carioca displays his song


É tico - tico lá

It's tico-tico there

É tico - tico cá

It's tico-tico here

Quem comeu nosso fubá?

Who ate our cornmeal?

Procura primeiro no terreiro

Look first in the yard

Busca na baixa do sapateiro

Search in the shoemaker's lower place

Fica esperto, brasileirinho!

Be alert, little Brazilian!
