Oh, sis' let me go,
Oh sis' I'm going alone
Oh sis' let me go
To the desert of Caicó
I go [on my way] singing,
With a ring on my finger
Here I am only afraid
Of Master Zé Mariano
Mariazinha has put flowers in the windowsill,
Thinking of a white dress,
Bridal veil and flowers in the chapel
Oh sis', let me go...
