Lyrics
Xaile verde, verde-malva
Sacudida e toda airosa
Ainda mal rompia a alva
Saía de casa a Rosa
O esvoaçar do seu xaile
Trazia o povo intrigado
E a pobre Rosa, afinal
Ia à missa e ao mercado
A rosa que abrisse na sua roseira
Não tinha a maneira daquela morena
Ligeira, brejeira, formosa
Parecia uma pena pequena
Essa Rosa
Dizem que desde criança
Aquele xaile a compunha
A ponto da vizinhança
À Rosa pôr essa alcunha
Essa alcunha graciosa
De que já ninguém a salva
Chamavam-lhe a Malva-Rosa
Com seu xaile verde-malva
Lyrics translation
Shawl green, mauve green
Shake and all airy
Still barely broke the alva
I was leaving home to Rosa.
The fluttering of your shawl
Brought the people intrigued
And poor Rose, after all
I went to mass and to the market
The Rose that opened in your Rose Garden
I didn't have the way of that brunette
Light, breezy, beautiful
It looked like a small feather
This Rose
They say that since childhood
That shawl made her up.
To the point of the neighborhood
To the rose to put that nickname
That graceful nickname
That no one saves her anymore
They called it The Pink Mallow.
With your mauve green shawl
