Apanhei-te Cavaquinho

I still remember
From my childhood
When I entered a dance
All full of hope
In slippers and braids
With Mané and Zé from France
I never had it in my memory
To see this little cry again

And today listening
In this cry the voice of the pine
Remembering the good times
From mom and little brother
Today I am a bird without a nest
No family, no affection
But I'm very happy listening
I Got You Cavaquinho!

Today singing the Apanhei-te Cavaquinho
I go crazy, I get hot
I'm like a little bird
I feel like singing all my life
This life, I lead anyway
Listening to the flute, the cavaquinho and the guitar
I feel that my heart
It has the cadence of a tambourine
I forget everything and sing all year long
This little cry
That is very Brazilian!

It has the cadence of a tambourine
I forget everything and sing all year long
