Full lyrics
Capelinha de melão
É de são João
É de cravo, é de rosa.
É de manjericão
Apanhei rosas pelos caminhos
As mensagem do meu amor
Tu me fizestes com os teus espinhos
Uma coroa de flor
Mandei-te cravos, tu não ligaste
E nem lhe deste nenhum valor
Com duros cravos tu me pregastes
Na cruz do teu falso amor
Translation
Melon chapel
It's from Saint John
It's of carnation, it's of rose
It's of basil
I picked roses along the paths
The messages of my love
You made me with your thorns
A crown of flower
I sent you carnations, you didn't care
And you didn't give it any value
With hard carnations you nailed me
On the cross of your false love
