Cana-verde

Green Sugar Cane

Cana-verde

I planted the green sugar caneEu plantei a cana-verde
seven palms deep.sete palmo de fundura.
It didn't even take seven daysNão levou nem sete dia
and the cane was ripe.e a cana estava madura.

(Chorus)(Refrão)

Oh-oh! My dear ............. [repeats 4x]Ai-ai! Meu Bem ............. [repete 4 x]
It didn't even take seven daysNão levou nem sete dia
and the cane was ripe.e a cana 'stava madura.

I planted the green sugar caneEu plantei a cana-verde
no one helped me plant. (repeat)ninguém me ajudou a plantar. (bis)
After the cane was ripeDepois da cana madura
everyone wanted to suck.todos queriam chupar.

Oh-oh! My dear ............. [repeats 4x]Ai-ai! Meu Bem ............. [repete 4 x]
After the cane was ripeDepois da cana madura
everyone wanted to suckTodos queriam chupar
