Full lyrics
Foi o destino quem quis
E uma estrela cigana
Que ela fosse feliz
E o coração não se engana
Pensou violão e cabana
Desempinou o nariz
E foi o passear no Sana
Passando o perigo do triz
Venceu a moral insana
Largou vida de bacana
Traçou nova diretriz
Feito ave livre e profana
Vestiu roupa de aprendiz
E foi namorar o Sana
Botou os pingos nos Is
Se fartou de goiaba e banana
Se banhou no escorrega que ama
E o sol foi o rei e juiz
No seu veredicto que emana
Serás bela e chamariz
De um poeta do Sana
Na noite riscada de giz
Da lua de porcelana
Foi criança, menina sacana
E na cachoeira mãe que diz
Ouviu do poeta que a ama
Serás minha imperatriz
Do vale verde do Sana
Translation
Destiny willed it so
And a gypsy star
That she would be happy
And the heart is not deceived
She thought of guitar and cabin
Turned up her nose no more
And went for a stroll in Sana
Passing the danger by a hair
She overcame the insane morality
She gave up the good life
Set a new guideline
Like a free and profane bird
She put on apprentice clothes
And went to court Sana
She dotted the i's
She feasted on guava and banana
She bathed in the slide she loves
And the sun was the king and judge
In its verdict that emanates
You will be beautiful and alluring
To a poet from Sana
In the night marked with chalk
Of the porcelain moon
She was a child, a naughty girl
And in the waterfall, a mother who says
She heard from the poet who loves her
You will be my empress
Of the green valley of Sana
