Full lyrics
Esperei meu amor
Com seu brinco mais bonito
Pedra da cor do Sol
Esperei meu amor
Com seu riso muito alvo
Como pedras de sal
Esperei meu amor
Com seus olhos muito claros
Brilhantes de cristal
E o brinco de Luzia
Maresia mariou
O riso de Luzia
Sem sorrir perdeu a cor
E os olhos de Luzia, ai, ai
Translation
I waited for my love
With her prettiest earring
A stone the color of the Sun
I waited for my love
With her very white smile
Like stones of salt
I waited for my love
With her very clear eyes
Sparkling like crystal
And Luzia's earring
The sea air tarnished
Luzia's smile
Without smiling, it lost its color
And Luzia's eyes, oh, oh
