| Vi gemer o passarinho
| I saw the bird moan
|
| E pus-me logo a chorar
| And I immediately started crying
|
| Vendo um bicho sem juízo
| Seeing an animal without judgment
|
| Mostrando que sabe amar
| Showing that you know how to love
|
| Passarinho bateu asa, tá voando
| Birdie flapped its wings, it's flying
|
| A viola no peito ta chorando
| The viola in the chest weeping
|
| A morena na roda tá sambando
| The brunette in the roda is sambando
|
| Adeus, corinho, até quando
| Goodbye, little boy, until when
|
| Eu comparo a minha vida com a vida de um passarinho
| I compare my life with the life of a bird
|
| Todo cheio de pena
| All full of pity
|
| E sempre alegre, coitadinho
| And always happy, poor thing
|
| Passarinho bateu asa, tá voando
| Birdie flapped its wings, it's flying
|
| A viola no peito ta chorando
| The viola in the chest weeping
|
| A morena na roda tá sambando
| The brunette in the roda is sambando
|
| Passarinho bateu asa, tá voando
| Birdie flapped its wings, it's flying
|
| A viola no peito ta chorando
| The viola in the chest weeping
|
| A morena na roda tá sambando
| The brunette in the roda is sambando
|
| Adeus, corinho, até quando | Goodbye, little boy, until when |
