Full lyrics
Eu "vô cantá"
Derradeiro coco liro roxo
Eu me "vô" além
(2x)
Estrela Dalva
Que no céu mais brilha
A noite é fria
Eu me "vô" também
(2x)
Quem tem sapo na lagoa
Zabumba não zoa
"Mode" a trovejada
Ô Helena arruma a "trôxa"
"Vamo simbora"
Que é de madrugada
(2x)
Não vá lavar roupa ô "mulé"
Não vá lavar roupa ô "mulé"
Não vá se perder ô "mulé"
Não vá se perder ô "mulé"
Na "bêra" da lagoa ô "mulé"
Na "bêra" da lagoa ô "mulé"
Grite que eu vou ver ô "mulé"
Grite que eu vou ver ô "mulé"
(2x)
Fui "tumá bãe" no poço da Curimam
Às seis horas da manhã
Eu me encontrei com a donzela
(2x)
Olhei pra ela meu coração "palpitô"
Se ela fosse meu amor
Eu dava palma e capela
(2x)
Eu já cantei
Derradeiro coco liro roxo
Eu me "vô" além
(2x)
Estrela Dalva
Que no céu mais brilha
A noite é fria
Eu me "vô" também
(2x)
Translation
I'm going to sing
Last purple-lyre coco
I'm going beyond
(2x)
Morning Star
That shines brightest in the sky
The night is cold
I'm going too
(2x)
Whoever has a frog in the lagoon
Zabumba doesn't buzz
Because of the thunderstorm
Oh Helena, pack the bundle
Let's go
Because it's dawn
(2x)
Don't go wash clothes, oh woman
Don't go wash clothes, oh woman
Don't go get lost, oh woman
Don't go get lost, oh woman
On the edge of the lagoon, oh woman
On the edge of the lagoon, oh woman
Shout and I will see, oh woman
Shout and I will see, oh woman
(2x)
I went to take a bath in the Curimam well
At six in the morning
I met the maiden
(2x)
I looked at her, my heart throbbed
If she were my love
I would give applause and chapel
(2x)
I have already sung
Last purple-lyre coco
I'm going beyond
(2x)
Morning Star
That shines brightest in the sky
The night is cold
I'm going too
(2x)
