Choro, chorinho Lyrics Translation in English
Zebeto CorrêaPortuguese 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!
