Full lyrics
Cad?quela sombra bela
Do velho arvoredo
Aonde a gente se amava
Cad?quele cheiro bom
de pasto mastigado
Onde ruminavam os bois
Cad? riso de Luzia
Que me disse um dia
A lua ?e n?ois
E a gente no velho arvoredo
A lua vinha cedo
Clarear o nosso amor
Pode me chamar de cafona
Eu gosto de sanfona
Eu gosto ?e forr?inha sand?a ?urrulepe
Ainda chamo cachete
Califom e carint?u gosto de uma aguardente
Uma mulher decente
Pra ser meu xod? um cavalo bom de cela
P'reu montar com ela
E derrubar a dor
Numa boa vaquejada
Namorar com minha amada
Na sombra de uma flor
Translation
Where is that beautiful shade
Of the old grove
Where we used to love each other
Where is that good smell
Of chewed pasture
Where the oxen ruminated
Where is Luzia's laugh
Who told me one day
The moon is ours
And we in the old grove
The moon came early
To illuminate our love
You can call me tacky
I like sanfona
I like forró, sandal, urrulepe
I still call cachete
Califom and carint, I like a sugarcane spirit
A decent woman
To be my xodó, a good saddle horse
For me to ride with her
And to bring down the pain
In a good vaquejada
To flirt with my beloved
In the shade of a flower
