Full lyrics

Cana sarangó, Cana sarangó

De todas que eu conheço

Esta cana é a melhor


Você que trouxe esta cana pra me dar

Lamento muito mais não posso aproveitar

Estou de boca mole, estou de boca pura

Esta cana é muito doce mais também é muito dura


Ô Damiana, a vontade é que me dana

Vai depressa no engenho e traga um caldo desta cana

Diz o dito popular quem tem dente chupa cana

E quem não tem come banana

Translation

Sugarcane sarangó, Sugarcane sarangó

Of all the ones I know

This sugarcane is the best


You who brought this sugarcane to give me

I'm very sorry but I can't enjoy it

My mouth is soft, my mouth is pure

This sugarcane is very sweet but also very hard


Oh Damiana, desire is what ruins me

Go quickly to the mill and bring some sugarcane juice

The popular saying goes, whoever has teeth sucks sugarcane

And whoever doesn't have teeth eats banana
