Canário
Folclóre do Nordeste
Canary
Up there on that mountain
There was a gray canary
Who sang every day
It was my fun
I had a cage made
I put a canary inside
Within a few days
Canary fell ill
I sent for the doctor
With the briefcase in hand
To give an injection
In the vein of the heart
In the first or second
On the third, he shuddered
On Wednesday, he opened his mouth
On Thursday, he died
Canary, if I could
With all dedication
I dug your grave
Inside my heart
I ordered the burial
With pomp and much luxury
The neighbor's cat came
He sent canary to the belly
