Boi‑ê
 (Sung text for setting by H. Camêu)
 Matches base text
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Boi ê caço no Mangurê ê
Ê meu boi, onde é sua morada
Em cima da chã da serra,
Ê, meu boi, onde é terra alagada

Quando chove cae chuva,
Ê, meu boi quando faz sol ta boiada,
Ê, meu boi.

Meu boi, quero que me dê, darrê, meu boi,
O que é que você come
A fola du feijão brabo,
Ê meu boi
A flô da mata-fome, darrê, meu boi.

Vae meu boi bonito, meu boi bonitinho,
Vamo prá roda bem devagazinho
Vae meu boi bonito, meu boi bonitinho,
Vamo prá roda bem devagarinho
Ê, darrê
Vamo, meu boi,
Ê, darrê
Ê vamo, meu boi

    Set to music by Helza de Cordoville Camêu (1903 - 1995), "Boi-ê", 1952, from Três números de Bumba-meu-boi, no. 1
