Xaxado No Chiado
Lucy Alves
Xaxado in the Rattle
My flower bloomed
From my cocoon the butterfly flew
Star that shines
Hold onto my arm, let's go to the square dance
Star that shines
Hold onto my arm, let's go to the square dance
Heave-ho, alavantú
Look at the rain, it rained, it passed
The gypsies sing to the Moon
And the bride sings to her love
It's xaxado in the rattle, it's the sandal on the ground
It's the sole on the shoe, it's Saint John's fire
I'll throw myself into your arms
I'll give you my heart
Just like Maria Bonita in Lampião's arms
My flower bloomed
From my cocoon the butterfly flew
Star that shines
Hold onto my arm, let's go to the square dance
Star that shines
Hold onto my arm, let's go to the square dance
Heave-ho, alavantú
Look at the rain, it rained, it passed
The gypsies sing to the Moon
And the bride sings to her love
It's xaxado in the rattle, it's the sandal on the ground
It's the sole on the shoe, it's Saint John's fire
I'll throw myself into your arms
I'll give you my heart
Just like Maria Bonita in Lampião's arms
