History

Published in 1893 by Casa Vieira Machado, it became Nazareth's first big hit, in Brazil and abroad. The band of the Garde Républicaine in Paris played and recorded it. Catulo da Paixão Cearense later wrote words for it as "O sertanejo enamorado," which singer Mário Pinheiro recorded in the 1900s. The manuscript is dedicated to the composer's nephew Gilberto.
