Amália Rodrigues Ai, Maria
Amália Rodrigues Oh, Maria
Que bonita é a Maria, que bonita
How beautiful is Maria, how beautiful
Que graça a Maria tem
How graceful Maria is
Como ela no cabelo põe a fita
How she puts the ribbon in her hair
Como ela, não a sabe pôr ninguém
Like her, she doesn't know how to put anyone
Tão bonita, no cabelo, aquela fita!
So beautiful, in your hair, that ribbon!
Mal morre a noite, inda não nasceu o dia
The night barely dies, the day has not yet been born
Já na fonte vai Maria
Already at the fountain goes Maria
Lá vem Maria, lata dágua na cabeça
Here comes Maria, can of water on her head
Ai, Maria! Ai, Maria!
Oh, Mary! Oh, Mary!
Quando dá-se, mal a manhã se avizinha
When it happens, as soon as the morning approaches
Mil olhos a vão seguindo
A thousand eyes follow her
Quando o sol, de quase fechada a tardinha
When the sun, from almost dusk to late afternoon
De mil bocas a Maria vai ouvindo
From a thousand mouths, Maria hears
Pobrezinha, mas tem porte de rainha!
Poor thing, but she looks like a queen!
