Full lyrics

Sabiá da mata, onde vai fazer teu ninho

É no pé da gameleira, lá na beira do caminho


A dor de uma saudade

Quando chega é pra valer

Todo dia eu choro muito

Com vontade de te ver


Vai um amor e vem cem

Toda moça é uma flor

Quando a gente beija ela

Sente a força do amor


Deixe o sereno cair

Deixe o sereno molhar

Quem canta seus males espanta

E eu canto pra não chorar

Translation

Thrush of the forest, where will you make your nest

It's at the foot of the fig tree, there by the side of the road


The pain of longing

When it arrives, it's for real

Every day I cry a lot

Wanting to see you


A love goes and a hundred come

Every girl is a flower

When we kiss her

We feel the strength of love


A love goes and a hundred come

Every girl is a flower

When we kiss her

We feel the strength of love


Let the dew fall

Let the dew wet

He who sings scares away his ills

And I sing so as not to cry
