Full lyrics
Ó, menina bonita não dorme na cama
Dorme na limeira, no colo da rama
Meu xexéu de bananeira
Cajueiro abaixa a rama
Ó, menina bonita, formosa, brejeira
Que só sai de casa pra fazer a feira
Arrastando a saia, levanta poeira
Meu xexéu de bananeira
Cajueiro abaixa a rama
Translation
Oh, beautiful girl, doesn't sleep in a bed
Sleeps on the lime tree, in the lap of the branch
My sweet banana bird
Cashew tree lowers its branch
Oh, beautiful girl, lovely, playful
Who only leaves home to go to the market
Dragging her skirt, raising dust
My sweet banana bird
Cashew tree lowers its branch
