Cantigas de Sabiá

Go away my sabiá, go away my zabelê
Every dawn I dream about you
If you don't believe, I'll dream for you to see

Orange sabiá, I hear your singing close by
I went out looking for you, but night fell
I got lost in the desert

Little bird flew away, flew away, landed over there
Go away little bird, go away sabiá, don't let my love suffer

Sabiá in the cage made a little hole, flew away, flew away...
The girl who loved the little bird so much cried, cried...
The sabiá escaped to the backyard, went to sing in the avocado tree
The girl started crying: - Come here sabiá, come here!
The girl says sobbing: - Sabiá, I'm waiting for you!
Sabiá answers from afar: - Don't cry, I'll come back!

Go away my sabiá, go away my zabelê...
