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
