Full lyrics
Ai que saudade me dá
Dá vendinha lá da feira
Eu vendia o dia inteiro
E as meninas assim gritavam
Tem mala, malinha e maleta
Tem bolsa, bolsinha e corneta
Pra tocar em qualquer bandinha
é melhor ter clarineta
Translation
Oh, what saudade it gives me
Of the little stall at the market
I used to sell all day long
And the girls would shout like this
There's suitcase, small suitcase, and briefcase
There's bag, small bag, and cornet
To play in any little band
It's better to have a clarinet
