As pombinhas da Catrina
Andaram de mão em mão,
As pombinhas da Catrina
Andaram de mão em mão.
Foram ter à Quinta Nova
Ao Pombal de São João,
Foram ter à Quinta Nova
Ao Pombal de São João.
Ao Pombal de São João
À Quinta da Roseirinha,
Ao Pombal de São João
À Quinta da Roseirinha.
Minha mãe mandou-me à fonte
E eu parti a cantarinha,
Minha mãe mandou-me à fonte
E eu parti a cantarinha.
- Ó minha mãe não me bata
Que eu ainda sou pequenina!
- Ó minha mãe não me bata,
Que eu ainda sou pequenina!
- Não te bato porque achaste
As pombinhas da Catrina,
- Não te bato porque achaste
As pombinhas da Catrina.
Catrina's little doves
Walked hand in hand,
Catrina's little doves
Walked hand in hand.
They went to the New Farm
To St. John's Pigeon house,
They went to the New Farm
To St. John's Pigeon house
To St. John's Pigeon house
To the Farm of the Little Rose,
To St. John's Pigeon house
To the Farm of the Little Rose
My mother sent me to the fountain
And I broke the little pot,
My mother sent me to the fountain
And I broke the little pot
- Oh my mother don't beat me
I'm still a small child,
- Oh my mother don't beat me
I'm still a small child.
- I won't beat you cause you found
Catrina's little doves,
- I won't beat you cause you found
Catrina's little doves.
