Passarinho canto
Canto canto canto
Passarinho canto
Dai a pouco a voou
Assim eu vi
Meu passarinho cantar
No pe de alecrim
No fundo do meu quintal
Passarinho canto
Canto canto canto
Passarinho canto
Dai a pouco a voou
Eu criava um passarinho
Com muita estimação
Foi presente que eu ganhei
Do meu avo são joão
Mais um dia aconteceu
O passarinho se esgotou
Cantou no pe de alecrim
Dai a pouco a voou
Translation
Little bird sings
Sings sings sings
Little bird sings
Shortly after, it flew away
That's how I saw
My little bird sing
At the foot of the rosemary
At the back of my yard
Little bird sings
Sings sings sings
Little bird sings
Shortly after, it flew away
I raised a little bird
With great affection
It was a gift I received
From my grandfather, Saint John
But one day it happened
The little bird ran out of steam
Sang at the foot of the rosemary
Shortly after, it flew away
