Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Malhão De São Simão by Amália Rodrigues from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Pra onde vais toda lampeira
Where are you going with all the lamps?
Morena de olhos travessos
Brunette with mischievous eyes
Pra onde vais toda lampeira?
Where are all the lamps going?
Ó malhão, malhão
Oh malhão, malhão
Pra onde vais toda lampeira?
Where are all the lamps going?
Tão depressa e troladinha
So fast and trolling
Toda cheia de chieira? Isto é de poderei la
All squeaky? This is what I can do
Chamaste-me de moreninha
You called me brunette
Isto é de poderei la! Ai, malhão, malhão
This is something I can do! Oh, malhão, malhão
Isto é de poderei la
This is what I can do
Hás de me ver ao domingo
You'll see me on Sunday
Como a rosa na roseira!
Like the rose on the rose bush!
Vai ter lugar que te o veja
There will be a place to see you
Se fores domingo à missa
If you go to mass on Sunday
Vai ter lugar que te o veja!
There will be a place to see you!
Ai, malhão, malhão
Oh, malhão, malhão
Vai ter lugar que te o veja
There will be a place to see you
Não fosses andar, meus olhos
If you weren't going to walk, my eyes
Além, lá em plena igreja!
Beyond, there in the middle of the church!
Hei de ir à missa outro dia
I'm going to go to mass another day
Para o domingo que vem
For next Sunday
Hei de ir à missa outro dia!
I'm going to go to mass another day!
Ai, malhão, malhão
Oh, malhão, malhão
Hei de ir à missa outro dia
I'm going to go to mass another day
Para ver o meu amor à porta da sacristia!
To see my love at the sacristy door!
