Tiê

Tiê, tiê, look there....Oxá
Tiê, tiê, look there....Oxá

Beloved little bird
That gave me inspiration
From my childhood days
I kept in my memory this recollection

(Chorus)

It represented to me
Affection, love, and passion
But the ungrateful tiê
Disregarded my heart

(Chorus)

The star in the sky runs
I also want to run
The star behind the moon
And I behind my tiê

(Chorus)

Grandma used to tell me, child
Look there, be careful
Oxá, this little bird of yours
Is badly behaved
