Full lyrics

Lá perto da casa dela

Tem um velho passador

Que passava todo dia

Maria meu amor


De manha me levantava

E ficava ali olhando

Mais nunca imaginava

Que ela estava me enganando


Um dia me levantei

Não vi maria passar

Já fiquei desconfiado

Pelo que ouvi falar


Velho amigo passador

Me responda por favor

Onde anda maria

Com seu riso enganador


Ela com outro fugiu

Nem uma carta deixou

O que resta de lembrança

És tu velho passador

Translation

Near her house

There's an old ferryman

Who passed by every day

Maria my love


In the morning I would get up

And stand there watching

But I never imagined

That she was deceiving me


One day I got up

I didn't see Maria pass by

I already became suspicious

Because of what I heard


Old friend ferryman

Answer me please

Where is Maria

With her deceiving laugh


She fled with another

Didn't even leave a letter

What remains of remembrance

Is you old ferryman
