Penerei Fubá
Coral Trovadores do Vale
Sifting Cornmeal
Sifting cornmeal
Cornmeal fell
I started to sift
Cornmeal disappeared
Oh, oh, oh, it was her who left me
Oh, oh, oh, because she doesn't love me
I sent for some from Bahia
Two golden scissors
One to cut jealousy
The other to cut off dating
Oh, oh, oh, it was her who left me
Oh, oh, oh, because she doesn't love me
Sifting cornmeal
Cornmeal fell
I started to sift
Cornmeal disappeared
I threw my white handkerchief
At the cemetery gate
If it’s not to get married
I don’t want to be bothered
Oh, oh, oh, it was her who left me
Oh, oh, oh, because she doesn't love me
Sifting cornmeal
Cornmeal fell
I started to sift
Cornmeal disappeared
From the sky, three letters are falling
The middle one says
That I’ll only marry you
Oh, oh, oh, it was her who left me
Oh, oh, oh, because she doesn't love me
Sifting cornmeal
Cornmeal fell
I started to sift
Cornmeal disappeared
I set my boat in the water
Loaded with flowers
There’s nothing more beautiful
Than the eyes of my love.
Oh, oh, oh, it was her who left me
Oh, oh, oh, because she doesn't love me
Sifting cornmeal
Cornmeal fell
I started to sift
Cornmeal disappeared
