Full lyrics
Lá em casa tem
Samambaia trepadeira
Se a morena vem
Eu estou na brincadeira
Tem mingau de tapioca
Pra comer de manhã
Tem um pote de água benta
Que deixa a pessoa sã
E tem um feijão de corda
Pra ninguém botar defeito
E tem aguardente pura
Que é pra esquentar o peito
Translation
At my house there is
Climbing fern
If the brunette comes
I'm ready for fun
There's tapioca porridge
To eat in the morning
There's a pot of holy water
That keeps a person sane
And there's cowpea stew
That no one can fault
And there's pure sugarcane spirit
To warm the heart
