Full lyrics
Às quatro horas da manhã
O galo canta, que já deu hora
Com que saudade eu me retiro
Eu não vim para ficar
As quatro horas da manhã
O galo canta, que já deu hora
Quando a moreninha suspira
Soluça e chora
As pastorinhas são maravilhosas
Tem faces coradas
Lindas como a rosa
Adeus, adeus, ó linda mestra
Já pode se retirar
Adeus, adeus, só para o ano
Quando a pastorinha aqui voltar
Translation
At four o'clock in the morning
The rooster crows, for it's already time
With such deep longing I depart
I didn't come to stay
At four o'clock in the morning
The rooster crows, for it's already time
When my darling brunette sighs
Sobs and cries
The young maidens are wonderful
They have rosy cheeks
Beautiful as the rose
Farewell, farewell, oh lovely lady
You may now withdraw
Farewell, farewell, only for next year
When the young maiden returns here
