Full lyrics
Sabiá lá na gaiola
Fez um buraquinho
Voou, voou, voou, voou
E a menina que gostava
Tanto do bichinho
Chorou, chorou, chorou, chorou
Sabiá fugiu pro terreiro
Foi cantar no abacateiro
E a menina vive a chamar
Vem cá sabiá, vem cá
Sabiá lá na gaiola
A menina diz soluçando
Sabiá, estou te esperando
Sabiá responde de lá
Não chores que eu vou voltar
Translation
Thrush there in the cage
Made a little hole
Flew, flew, flew, flew
And the girl who liked
So much the little animal
Cried, cried, cried, cried
Thrush fled to the yard
Went to sing in the avocado tree
And the girl keeps calling
Come here thrush, come here
Thrush there in the cage
The girl says, sobbing
Thrush, I am waiting for you
Thrush answers from there
Don't cry, for I will return
