Full lyrics

Eu queria ser bananeira

Eu queria ser bananeira

Eu queria ser bananeira

Pra dar banana a vida inteira


Sem querer eu nasci gente

Pra sofrer a vida inteira

Eu apenas desejava

Ser um dia bananeira


Dar banana fartamente

Até pra vender na feira

Mais uma desta maneira

Da banana a muita gente

Translation

I wish I were a banana tree

I wish I were a banana tree

I wish I were a banana tree

To give bananas my whole life


Without wanting to, I was born a person

To suffer my whole life

I only wished

To be a banana tree one day


To give bananas abundantly

Even to sell at the fair

One more like this

To give bananas to many people
