Full lyrics
Fui passear na pracinha
Na festinha da matriz
Em uma das barraquinhas
Conheci a beatriz
Na barraca do tiro ao alvo
Todo tiro ela acertava
E disse para mim
Que também me ensinava
A pontaria, a pontaria
A pontaria, que ela fazia
Beatriz me disse logo
Que tudo me ensinava
Quando pegava a espingarda
Nem um tiro ela errava
Tudo que ela fazia,
Sorrindo me chamava
E sempre me dizia
Que ensinava pontaria
Translation
I went for a walk in the little square
At the church festival
In one of the stalls
I met Beatriz
At the shooting range stall
She hit every shot
And she said to me
That she would also teach me
The aim, the aim
The aim, that she did
Beatriz told me right away
That she would teach me everything
When she picked up the rifle
She didn't miss a single shot
Everything she did,
Smiling she called me
And she always told me
That she taught marksmanship
The aim, the aim
The aim, that she did
