Full lyrics
Olha a roseira, roseira, eu amei uma menina
Olha a roseira, roseira, mais bonita eu nunca vi
Olha a roseira, roseira, no dia que lhe encontrei
Olha a roseira, roseira de amor eu me perdi
Olha a roseira, roseira
Toda roseira tem rosa, mais rosa não tem espinho
Já tentei mais não consigo viver sem o seu carinho
O vento leva e trás saudade do nosso amor
E por isso nossa amizade meu bem nunca se acabou
Olha a roseira, roseira, amor trás felicidade
Olha a roseira, roseira, para o coração da gente
Olha a roseira, roseira, já conheci a tristeza
Olha a roseira, roseira, mais sou feliz novamente
Olha a roseira, roseira,
Translation
Look at the rose bush, rose bush, I loved a girl
Look at the rose bush, rose bush, more beautiful I never saw
Look at the rose bush, rose bush, on the day that I met her
Look at the rose bush, rose bush, in love I got lost
Look at the rose bush, rose bush
Every rose bush has a rose, but the rose has no thorns
I've tried but I can't live without your affection
The wind carries and brings back longing for our love
And that's why our friendship, my dear, never ended
Look at the rose bush, rose bush, love brings happiness
Look at the rose bush, rose bush, for the heart of the people
Look at the rose bush, rose bush, I already knew sadness
Look at the rose bush, rose bush, but I'm happy again
Look at the rose bush, rose bush
