Full lyrics

A ema gemeu no tronco do jurema

A ema gemeu no tronco do jurema


Foi um sinal bem triste, morena

Fiquei a imaginar

Será que é o nosso amor, morena

Que vai se acabar?


Você bem sabe, que a ema quando canta

Traz no meio do seu canto um bocado de azar

Eu tenho medo, morena, eu tenho medo

Pois acho que é muito cedo

Pra esse amor se acabar


Vem morena, vem, vem, vem

Me beijar, me beijar

Dá um beijo, dá um beijo

Pra esse medo se acabar

Translation

The rhea groaned in the trunk of the jurema tree

The rhea groaned in the trunk of the jurema tree


It was a very sad sign, my love

I started to imagine

Could it be our love, my love

That is going to end?


You know very well that when the rhea sings

It brings a lot of bad luck in the middle of its song

I'm afraid, my love, I'm afraid

Because I think it's too early

For this love to end


Come my love, come, come, come

Kiss me, kiss me

Give me a kiss, give me a kiss

To make this fear go away
