Full lyrics

O passarinho faz morada

No galho que tem espinho

E não lhe acontece nada

Ninguém perturba o seu ninho


Leva a vida cantando

Pro dia que vai nascer

É uma alegria constante

Que faz a gente dizer


Queria ser um passarinho

No ninho do meu bem-querer

Queria ser um passarinho

No ninho do meu bem-querer


Mas o meu bem-querer (voou, voou)

Por esse mundo sem fim (voou, voou)


Quer me fazer sofrer (voou, voou)

Não tem pena de mim (voou)


Mas o meu bem-querer (voou, voou)

Por esse mundo sem fim (voou, voou)


Quer me fazer sofrer (voou, voou)

Não tem pena de mim (voou)

Translation

The little bird makes its home

On the branch that has thorns

And nothing happens to it

No one disturbs its nest


It lives life singing

For the day that will be born

It is a constant joy

That makes us say


I wish I were a little bird

In the nest of my sweetheart

I wish I were a little bird

In the nest of my sweetheart


But my sweetheart (flew, flew)

Through this endless world (flew, flew)


Wants to make me suffer (flew, flew)

Has no pity on me (flew)


But my sweetheart (flew, flew)

Through this endless world (flew, flew)


Wants to make me suffer (flew, flew)

Has no pity on me (flew)
