Beija-flor das penas verdes
Silveira e Silveirinha
Hummingbird of the green feathers
Hummingbird of the green feathers kiss the carnations of the garden
just don't kiss the white rose, that one is kissed by me
these flowers were planted by the owner of my heart
one day that same rose adorned her coffin
A bouquet of white roses I gave to her in the church
we exchanged rings, on this day I got married
but as time passed, see what destiny did
took her far away, in loneliness I remained
Hummingbird of the green feathers kiss the carnations of the garden
just don't kiss the white rose, that one is kissed by me
these flowers were planted by the owner of my heart
one day that same rose adorned her coffin
One afternoon when I arrived home
the woman I loved the most, lifeless I found
my happiness ended all at once hey say men don't cry, many days I cried
Hummingbird of the green feathers kiss the carnations of the garden
just don't kiss the white rose, that one is kissed by me
these flowers were planted by the owner of my heart
one day that same rose adorned her coffin
