Full lyrics
Era um beija-flor malvado valente conquistador
Voava de galho em galho amante de toda flor
Um dia se apaixonou por uma rosa amarela
Abandonou margarida, gravina, papo, onadalha
E aquietou as suas asas somente por causa dela
Um dia a rosa amarela abriu suas pétalas
Pra outro beija-flor
E o beija-flor malandro e descarado
Continua apaixonado por um amor que passou
E o beija-flor malandro e descarado
Continua apaixonado por um amor que passou
Era um beija-flor malvado valente conquistador
Voava de galho em galho amante de toda flor
Um dia se apaixonou por uma rosa amarela
Abandonou margarida, gravina, papo, onadalha
E aquietou as suas asas somente por causa dela
Um dia a rosa amarela abriu suas pétalas
Pra outro beija-flor
Que o beija-flor malandro e descarado…
Translation
He was a wicked, brave, conquering hummingbird
He flew from branch to branch, a lover of every flower
One day he fell in love with a yellow rose
He abandoned daisy, gravina, goiter, onadalha
And stilled his wings only because of her
One day the yellow rose opened its petals
For another hummingbird
And the sly and shameless hummingbird
Continues to be in love with a love that has passed
And the sly and shameless hummingbird
Continues to be in love with a love that has passed
He was a wicked, brave, conquering hummingbird
He flew from branch to branch, a lover of every flower
One day he fell in love with a yellow rose
He abandoned daisy, gravina, goiter, onadalha
And stilled his wings only because of her
One day the yellow rose opened its petals
For another hummingbird
That the sly and shameless hummingbird…
