Full lyrics
Ilza chorou tudo por mim
Que chegava a soluçar
Gritava pelas estradas
Ai meu Deus quanto penar
Meu amor foi embora
Não sei quando vai voltar
Vou ao rio,
Vou pra São Paulo
E vou a Minas Gerais
Breve vou a Pernambuco
Para visitar meus pais
Rever amigo e colega
A todos quero abraçar
Depois rever minha Ilza
Pra São Paulo eu vou levar
Translation
Ilza cried everything for me
That she came to sob
She screamed on the roads
Oh my God, how much suffering
My love has gone away
I don't know when she will return
I'm going to Rio,
I'm going to São Paulo
And I'm going to Minas Gerais
Soon I'm going to Pernambuco
To visit my parents
See friends and colleagues again
I want to hug everyone
Then see my Ilza again
I'm going to take her to São Paulo
