Pé de Ipê

I knew well what I was guessing
When sometimes I called you
A heartless woman
My grandma used to complain
You are the most beautiful
Of the country girls

My grandma used to complain
You are the most beautiful
Of the country girls

Once I had the desire
To taste the sea of a kiss
From your little mouth
There in the trio of the lowland
Close to the crossroad
Under an ipê tree

There in the trio of the lowland
Close to the crossroad
Under an ipê tree

But destiny is treacherous
It left me in solitude
You went away to the city
Left me with sad longing
In this poor heart

You went away to the city
Left me with sad longing
In this poor heart

When I pass by the crossroad
I still see the ipê tree
A little bird still sings
Makes me remember alone
That day with you

A little bird still sings
Makes me remember alone
That day with you
