Full lyrics

Bem perto de um regato

Os pássaros a cantar

Naquela solidão

É lindo se escutar


O anu, a araponga

O campina, o canário

O xexéu, a patativa

O vem-vem, o sabiá


A tarde vai morrendo

A noite vai chegando

Os pássaros em seus ninhos

Os cantos vão parando


E assim tu me falastes

Me abraçaste, me adoraste

Nós a sós, tu me juraste

Nunca mais nos separar

Translation

Very close to a stream

The birds are singing

In that solitude

It's beautiful to hear


The ani, the bellbird

The meadowlark, the canary

The xexéu, the patativa

The flycatcher, the thrush


The afternoon is dying

The night is arriving

The birds in their nests

The songs are stopping


And so you spoke to me

You embraced me, you adored me

We alone, you swore to me

Never to separate us again
