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 light up our love

You can call me tacky

I like sanfona

I like forrózinha sandália hurrulepe

I still call it cachete

Califom and carint, I like a cachaça

A decent woman

To be my xodó, a good saddle horse

For me to ride with her

And knock down the pain

In a good vaquejada

To flirt with my beloved

In the shade of a flower
