Comprei uns alamares
I bought some fences
P'ra enfeitares o teu varino
To decorate your varino
Quero-te à marialva à moda antiga
I want you in the old-fashioned way
Chapéu de aba direita de um castiço figurino
Right-brimmed hat from a chandelier costume
E na boca formosa uma cantiga
And in the beautiful mouth a song
Bota de pulimento que se veja bem o salto
Polishing boots that show the heel clearly
Biqueira miudinha afiambrada
Small sharpened toe cap
E uma cinta de seda sobre calça de cós alto
And a silk belt over high-waisted pants
Samarra de astracã afadistada
Far away astrakhan samarra
Na Mouraria desde a Amendoeira à Guia
In Mouraria from Amendoeira to Guia
Vamos encher de alegria este bairro sonhador
Let's fill this dreamy neighborhood with joy
Que esta guitarra tenha a voz de uma cigarra
May this guitar have the voice of a cicada
Que o seu trinado desgarra
That your trill tears apart
Numa cantiga de amor
In a love song
Gravata à cavaleira na tua camisa branca
Knight's tie on your white shirt
Fica mesmo ao pintar se não te importas
It stays even when painting if you don't mind
Vamos depois aos toiros
Let's go to the bulls later
No Domingo a Vila Franca e na Segunda-Feira
On Sunday at Vila Franca and on Monday
Para as hortas
For the vegetable gardens
Na adega mais antiga da Calçada de Carriche
In the oldest winery on Calçada de Carriche
Havemos de cantar o rigoroso
We will sing the strict
E pões uma melena no cabelo de azeviche
And you put a melena on your jet hair
E sobre a orelha um cravo imperioso
And over the ear an imperious carnation
