Full lyrics
Baião
A arte do destino
Que desde do tempo de menino
Eu aprendi a cultivar
Nos terreiros, as fogueiras, quentões
E as morenas, as lindas paixões
Que pena que o tempo não posso voltar
E as quadrilhas, os balões pelo céu que fascina
Sorriso daquela menina que vivia no canto a me olhar
Vou voltar, vou pra minha casinha de taipa
Que fica no pé de uma serra
De tudo eu tenho por lá
Meu amor já vá logo arrumando uma rede
Pode pendurar na parede
Pra nós dois se balançar
Translation
Baião
The art of destiny
That since childhood
I learned to cultivate
In the yards, the bonfires, quentões
And the brunettes, the beautiful passions
What a shame I cannot turn back time
And the quadrilhas, the sky lanterns in the fascinating sky
The smile of that girl who used to watch me from the corner
I will return, I will go to my wattle-and-daub house
That is at the foot of a mountain range
I have everything there
My love, go ahead and get a hammock ready
You can hang it on the wall
For the two of us to swing
