Ai que linda moça sai d'aquela choça, loira e engraçada leva arregaçada a saia encarnada de chita grosseira E cantarolando vai gentil guiando, seu ditoso gado, seu rebanho amado sempre enamorado da canção fagueira Tudo são tristezas tristezas e dor tudo são tristezas para o meu amor

Ah what a lovely young girl is leaving that hovel, blond and graceful. Her crimson calico dress is all bunched up And the pretty thing goes humming guiding her herd. her beloved flock, always enthralled by her flattering song. All is sorrow, sorrow and pain All is sorrow for my love
