Full lyrics
Eu vi o sol, vi a lua clarear
Eu vi meu bem dentro do canaviá
(coro repete)
Ô, minha Zabelê
Ô, minha Zabelê
Toda madrugada eu sonho com você
Se você tá duvidando
Vou sonhar pra você ver
Mariazinha, eu vou dizer pro seu pai
Eu chamo e você não vem,
Outros chamam e você vai
(coro repete)
Translation
I saw the sun, I saw the moon brighten
I saw my darling inside the sugar cane field
I saw the sun, I saw the moon brighten
I saw my darling inside the sugar cane field
Oh, my Zabelê
Oh, my Zabelê
Every dawn I dream of you
If you are doubting
I will dream for you to see
Little Maria, I'm going to tell your father
I call and you don't come,
Others call and you go
Little Maria, I'm going to tell your father
I call and you don't come,
Others call and you go
