Full lyrics
Chora sanfoninha chora chora
Chora sanfoninha a minha dor
Minha sanfoninha amiga certa
Que chorando tu desperta
O coração do meu amor
E ela me vendo, tá fingindo que não tá
Tá me querendo, tá fingindo que não tá
Coração batendo, tá fingindo que não tá
Tá batendo, tá morrendo, mas não quer se declarar
Translation
Cry, sanfoninha, cry, cry
Cry, sanfoninha, my pain
My sanfoninha, a true friend
That crying you awaken
The heart of my love
And seeing me, she's pretending she's not
She wants me, she's pretending she's not
Heart beating, she's pretending she's not
It's beating, it's dying, but she doesn't want to declare herself
