Teresinha de Jesus

Teresinha de Jesus
From a fall, she went to the ground
Three gentlemen came to help
All three with their hats in hand

The first was her father
The second, her brother
The third was the one
Who held Teresa's hand

Teresinha got up
Got up from the ground
And smiling, said to her fiancé
I give you my heart

So many ripe oranges
So many lemons on the ground
So much blood shed
Inside my heart

From the orange I want a slice
From the lemon I want a piece
From the prettiest girl
I want a kiss and a hug
