from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Meia‑canha
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Vem dansar a meia canha, compadre,
gira, vira, no bate pé
Pára a gaita e diz um verso bem bonito
e depois seja, seja lá o que Deus quiser

Esta casa está bem feita por dentro, por fora não
por dentro cravos e rosas, por fora manjericão

Cada vez que considero que tenho de te deixar,
Meu coração fica triste de tanto considerar ali

Ai! Nã nã nã nã nã
