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
