Full lyrics
Fui a Minas Gerais conhecer Ubá
Gostei das mineirinhas que encontrei por lá
Se a safra desse ano não for tão mesquinha
Eu volto pra Ubá e caso com uma mineirinha
Mineira, vem pra cá calanguear
Mineira, e a poeira levantar
Pego todo sanfoneiro, zabumbeiro ou violeiro
Lá do Rio de Janeiro pra tocar só pra mineiro
Lá na madrugada eu convido toda gente
Vamô tudo pro terreiro pra cantar esse repente
Mineira, vem pra cá calanguear
Mineira, e a poeira levantar
Translation
I went to Minas Gerais to see Ubá
I liked the girls from Minas Gerais that I found there
If this year's harvest isn't too meager
I'll go back to Ubá and marry a girl from Minas Gerais
Girl from Minas Gerais, come here to dance the calango
Girl from Minas Gerais, and raise the dust
I'll get every accordion player, zabumba player, or guitar player
From Rio de Janeiro to play only for the people from Minas Gerais
In the early morning, I invite everyone
Let's all go to the yard to sing this sudden verse
Girl from Minas Gerais, come here to dance the calango
Girl from Minas Gerais, and raise the dust
