Full lyrics

Tava na penera

Eu tava penerando

Eu tava de namoro

Eu tava namorando


Tava na penera

Eu tava penerando

Eu tava de namoro

Eu tava namorando


Na farinhada

Lá na serra do Teixeira

Namorei uma cabocla

Nunca vi tão feiticeira


A meninada

Descascava a macaxeira

Zé Migué no caititu

Eu e ela na penera


Tava na penera

Eu tava penerando

Eu tava de namoro

Eu tava namorando


Tava na penera

Eu tava penerando

Eu tava de namoro

Eu tava namorando


O vento dava

Sacudia a cabelera

Levantava a saia dela

No balanço da penera


Fechei os óio

E o vento foi soprando

Quando deu um ridimuinho

Sem querer tava espiando


Tava na penera

Eu tava penerando

Eu tava de namoro

Eu tava namorando


Tava na penera

Eu tava penerando

Eu tava de namoro

Eu tava namorando


De madrugada

Nós fiquemo ali sozinho

O pai dela soube disso

Deu de perna no caminho


Chegando lá

Até riu da brincadeira

Nós tava namorando

Eu e ela na penera


Tava na penera

Eu tava penerando

Eu tava de namoro

Eu tava namorando


Tava na penera

Eu tava penerando

Eu tava de namoro

Eu tava namorando


Tava na penera

Eu tava penerando

Eu tava de namoro

Eu tava namorando

Translation

I was at the sieve

I was sifting

I was dating

I was courting


I was at the sieve

I was sifting

I was dating

I was courting


At the flour mill

Up in the Teixeira mountains

I courted a native girl

I've never seen such an enchantress


The girls

Peeled the cassava

Zé Migué on the wild pig

Me and her at the sieve


I was at the sieve

I was sifting

I was dating

I was courting


I was at the sieve

I was sifting

I was dating

I was courting


The wind blew

Shook her hair

Lifted her skirt

In the sway of the sieve


I closed my eyes

And the wind was blowing

When a whirlwind came

Unintentionally I was peeking


I was at the sieve

I was sifting

I was dating

I was courting


I was at the sieve

I was sifting

I was dating

I was courting


At dawn

We stayed there alone

Her father found out about it

He ran all the way


Arriving there

He even laughed at the game

We were dating

Me and her at the sieve


I was at the sieve

I was sifting

I was dating

I was courting


I was at the sieve

I was sifting

I was dating

I was courting


I was at the sieve

I was sifting

I was dating

I was courting
