Full lyrics
Lá no meu pé de serra
Deixei tanta coisa boa
Milho verde e pamonha
Um sanfoneiro a tocar
Meu amor me esperando
Na beira da fogueira
Passou a noite inteira
Mais eu não pude voltar
Agora eu vou voltar
Para você porque
Prepare a sala
E chame o povo pra dançar
Vamos brincar la na beira da fogueira
De mãos dadas a noite inteira
Até o dia clarear
Translation
There on my hillside
I left so many good things
Green corn and pamonha
An accordion player playing
My love waiting for me
By the bonfire
She spent the whole night
But I couldn't go back
Now I'm going back
To you because
Prepare the room
And call the people to dance
Let's play by the bonfire
Holding hands all night long
Until the day dawns
