Lyrics
Afinei a minha viola
Junto com meu companheiro
Pra ir cantar num fandango
No meu estado mineiro
Pra cantar levei bom peito
Pra dançar bons catireiros, ai
Nós chegamos lá na festa
O povo estava esperando
Entramos acompanhados
Do senhor Otaviano
O povo batia palma
Eu quase pedia calma, ai
Nós começamos dançar
O recortado mineiro
Da sala foi pra cozinha
E findamos no terreiro
O salão estremecia
Com as palmas do catireiros, ai
Quando foi outro dia
Na hora da despedida
Deixamos as caboclinhas
Chorando com a partida
Deixando muitas saudades
Pra aquela gente querida, ai
Lyrics translation
I tuned my viola
Together with my companion
To go sing in a fandango
In my mining state
To sing I took good chest
To dance good catireiros, alas
We got there at the party
The people were waiting
We enter accompanied
From Lord Otaviano
The people beat Palm
I almost asked for calm, alas
We started dancing
The cropped miner
From the living room went to the kitchen
And we end up in the yard
The Hall shuddered
With the claps of the catireiros, alas
When was another day
At the time of parting
We leave the caboclines
Crying with the departure
Leaving many misses
For those dear people, there
