Full lyrics
Palmeira balança o vento
Balança a chorar
Palmeira que sofre tormentos
Com a brisa do mar
Me faz lembrar
Com saudade da moça morena
Que o mar carregou
Como as flores que a lua na praia
Seus cabelos beijou
Palmeira ficou como eu
Morrendo da dor que nasceu
Depois que a moça morena desapareceu
E hoje o vento não sopra
E a palmeira murchou
Assim como as flores que ela
Na areia deixou
Translation
The palm tree sways in the wind
Sways while crying
The palm tree that suffers torments
With the sea breeze
It reminds me
With longing for the dark-haired girl
That the sea carried away
Like the flowers that the moon on the beach
Kissed her hair
The palm tree remained like me
Dying from the pain that was born
After the dark-haired girl disappeared
And today the wind doesn't blow
And the palm tree withered
Just like the flowers that she
Left on the sand
