Full lyrics

A ema gemeu

No tronco do juremá

A ema gemeu

No tronco do juremá


Foi um sinal bem triste, morena

Fiquei a imaginar

Será que o nosso amor, morena

Que vai se acabar?


Você bem sabe

Que a ema quando canta

Vem trazendo no seu canto

Um bucado de azar


Eu tenho medo

Pois acho que é muito cedo

Muito cedo, meu benzinho

Para esse amor se acabar


Vem morena (vem, vem, vem)

Me beijar (me beijar)

Dá-me um beijo (dá-me um beijo)

Pra esse medo (se acabar)

Translation

The rhea groaned

On the trunk of the jurema tree

The rhea groaned

On the trunk of the jurema tree


It was a very sad sign, my love

I started to imagine

Could it be that our love, my love

Is going to end?


You know very well

That when the rhea sings

It brings in its song

A lot of bad luck


I'm afraid

Because I think it's too early

Too early, my darling

For this love to end


Come, my love (come, come, come)

Kiss me (kiss me)

Give me a kiss (give me a kiss)

So that this fear (goes away)
