Full lyrics
Saia bonita
De renda de bico!
Panha a laranja do chão,
Tico-tico! (bis)
Panha a laranja do chão,
Tico-tico!
Se meu amor for-se embora
Eu não fico!
Se meu amor for-se embora
Eu não fico!
Panha a laranja do chão,
Tico-tico!
Tico-tico, vai-se embora!
Caçador tá de tocaia!
E eu já tô preso, e bem preso
Na renda daquela saia.
O luar fez tanta renda,
Tanta renda pelo chão,
Que o amor também fez renda
E prendeu meu coração!
Translation
Beautiful skirt
Of lace trim!
Pick up the orange from the ground,
Tico-tico! (bis)
Pick up the orange from the ground,
Tico-tico!
If my love goes away
I won't stay!
If my love goes away
I won't stay!
Pick up the orange from the ground,
Tico-tico!
Tico-tico, go away!
The hunter is in ambush!
And I'm already caught, and well caught
In the lace of that skirt.
The moonlight made so much lace,
So much lace on the ground,
That love also made lace
And captured my heart!
