Full lyrics

Vista o seu casaco velho

Se enrola no cobertor

Que eu fiz uma casinha branca

Lá no alto da serra pra gente morar

Traga o radinho de pilha

Que lá não tem televisão

Não esquece do incenso

Do fumo de rolo e do violão


Lá tem rede na varanda (moreno)

Lá tem fruta no pomar

Lá tem tudo que há na terra, (pitanga)

É só a gente chegar


Quando os passarinhos cantam

Cantam por ocasião

Logo quando a gente acorda

Ou de tardezinha chamando o noitão

Lá eu fiz nossa casinha

Por que nada lá é em vão

Lá mora a felicidade

E o alto da serra será nosso chão

Translation

Put on your old coat

Wrap yourself in the blanket

I made a little white house

Up in the mountains for us to live in

Bring the little radio

There's no television there

Don't forget the incense

The roll-up tobacco and the guitar


There's a hammock on the porch (my love)

There's fruit in the orchard

There's everything on earth (my sweet)

We just have to get there


When the little birds sing

They sing for the occasion

Right when we wake up

Or in the late afternoon calling for the night

I made our little house there

Because nothing there is in vain

Happiness lives there

And the top of the mountain will be our land
