Full lyrics
Umbuzeiro veio
Veio amigo quem diria
Que tuas folhas caídas
Tuas galhas ressequidas
Iam me servir um dia
Foi naquela manhãzinha
Quando o sol nos acordou
Que a nossa felicidade
Machucou tanta saudade
Que me endoideceu de amor
Indiscreto passarinho
Solitário cantador
Descobriu nosso segredo
Acabou com nosso enredo
Bateu asas e voou
Hoje vivo pelo mundo
Tal o qual o vem-vem
Assobiando o dia inteiro
Quando vejo um umbuzeiro
Me lembro de ti meu bem
Translation
The Umbu tree came
Came, friend, who would have thought
That your fallen leaves
Your dried branches
Would serve me one day
It was that morning
When the sun woke us up
That our happiness
Hurt so much longing
That drove me crazy with love
Indiscreet little bird
Solitary singer
Discovered our secret
Ended our plot
Flapped its wings and flew away
Today I live around the world
Just like the kiskadee
Whistling all day long
When I see an Umbu tree
I remember you, my dear
