Full lyrics

Quando vim-vim cantou

Corri pra ver você

Atrás da serra o sol tava pra

se esconder

Quando você partiu, eu não

me esqueço mais

Meu coração, amor , partiu atrás


Vivo com o olho na ladeira

Quando vejo uma poeira

Penso logo que é você

Vivo com a orelha levantada

Para o lado da estrada

Que atravessa o muçambê

Olha, eu já estou roendo unha

A saudade é testemunha

Do que agora eu vou dizer

Pois quando na janela

eu me debruço

meu cantar é um soluço

A galopar no massapê

Translation

When the bem-te-vi bird sang

I ran to see you

Behind the hills, the sun was about

to hide

When you left, I'll never

forget it

My heart, my love, followed behind


I live with my eye on the slope

When I see a dust cloud

I immediately think it's you

I live with my ear perked up

Towards the side of the road

That crosses the muçambê

Look, I'm already biting my nails

Longing is the witness

Of what I'm about to say

Because when at the window

I lean out

My singing is a sob

Galloping on the clay soil
