Full lyrics

Vancê tá vendo

Essa casinha simplisinha

Toda branca de sapê

Diz que ela véve do abandono

Não tem dono

E se tem, ninguém não vê


Uma roseira

Cobre a banda da varanda

E num pé de cambucá

Quando o dia se alevanta

Virgem Santa, fica assim de sabiá


Deixa falar

Toda essa gente mal dizente

Vem que tem um morador

Sabe quem mora dentro dela? Zé Gazela

O maior dos cantador

Quando Gazela

Viu Sinhá Rita, tão bonita

Pôs a mão no coração

Ela pegou., não disse nada, deu risada


Pondo os oínho no chão

E se casaram, mau um dia, que agonia

Quando em casa ele voltou

Zé Gazela, viu a sua Rita, muito aflita

Tava lá Mane Sinhô


Tem duas cruz

Entrelaçada na estrada

Escreveram por detrás

Uma casa de caboclo

Um é pouco, dois é bom

Três é demais

Translation

You are seeing

This simple little house

All white with thatch

They say it lives in abandonment

It has no owner

And if it does, nobody sees it


A rosebush

Covers the side of the porch

And on a cambucá tree

When the day rises

Holy Virgin, it gets like this with thrushes


Let them talk

All these gossiping people

Come, there's an inhabitant

Do you know who lives inside it? Zé Gazela

The greatest of the singers

When Gazela

Saw Sinhá Rita, so beautiful

He put his hand on his heart

She understood, said nothing, laughed


Putting her little eyes on the ground

And they got married, barely a day, what agony

When he returned home

Zé Gazela saw his Rita, very distressed

Mane Sinhô was there


There are two crosses

Intertwined on the road

They wrote behind them

A caboclo's house

One is little, two is good

Three is too much
