Papo de Passarim

Chatter of the Little Bird

Papo de Passarim

The little bird jumped in the air and sangTiziu pulou no ar e cantou
If it sings, let it know that it’s seenSe canta avisa bem que já viu
Your friend in another patch of grassO seu amigo noutro capim
It’s the chatter of the little birdÉ papo de passarim
It’s the chatter of the little birdÉ papo de passarim

Standing tall by the ipe tree, it must be thereAssim de pé no ipê deve ter
By the ipe tree standing tall, it must be thereAssim de ipê de pé deve ter
To color the grass for mePra colorir o mato pra mim
The grass is good for the little birdO mato é bom passarim
In the woods, not for the little birdNum mata não passarim
Little birdPassarim

Brightens the dayClareia o dia
It’s a party, it’s singing in the sunlightÉ festa, é cantoria na luz do sol
And everything turns greenerE tudo fica mais verde
I came to see you like a well-wisherVim te ver como um bem-te-vi
That’s what I really wantÉ isso que eu quero sim
Sing a song for meFaz a cantiga pra mim
