Shunaxhi stine', guie' bacuá — flamboyán
My beloved, flower tree — poinciana1
Lu gueela beeu bicachilúdu'
In the light of the full moon we hide
Ziete bi ne zuchiá iraani'
The wind will come and it'll tear everything2 apart
Danee nou' na', danee na' ti bixhidu'
Give me your hand, give me a kiss,
Sinia' lii zitu, zitu, zitu.
I'll take you with me far, far, far away.
