Full lyrics

Tu nunca me deixou só

Tu nunca me deixou sem

Tu me enfeitava de flor, lelê

Me chamava de meu bem


Me deu vestidinho branco

Deu sandalhinha de couro

Ai lelê se tu não voltar eu juro

Que de saudade morro


Lelê por que tu foi embora?

Lelê por que tu foi embora?

Por que me deixasse aqui, lelê?

Ai eu penso em tu toda hora


De noite faz tanto frio

No peito um espinho de palma

Não me peça pra ter calma

Não me peça pra ter calma


Vou assanhar meu cabelo

Vou borrar o meu batom

Vou batucar no terreiro

Te cantar fora do tom

Translation

You never left me alone

You never left me wanting

You adorned me with flowers, lelê

You called me my darling


You gave me a little white dress

You gave me little leather sandals

Oh lelê, if you don't come back, I swear

That I'll die of saudade


Lelê, why did you leave?

Lelê, why did you leave?

Why did you leave me here, lelê?

Oh, I think of you all the time


At night it's so cold

In my chest, a palm thorn

Don't ask me to be calm

Don't ask me to be calm


I'm going to mess up my hair

I'm going to smudge my lipstick

I'm going to drum in the yard

Singing to you out of tune
