Uma fazenda
A farm
Com casarão
With a big house
Imensa varanda
Huge balcony
Dá jerimum
Give jerimum
Dá muito mamão
It gives a lot of papaya
Pé de jacarandá
Rosewood tree
Eu posso vender
I can sell
Quanto você dá?
How much do you give?
Algum mosquito
Some mosquitoes
Chapéu de sol
Sun hat
Bastante água fresca
Plenty of fresh water
Tem surubim
There is surubim
Tem isca pra anzol
There's bait for the hook
Mas nem tem que pescar
But you don't even have to fish
Eu posso vender
I can sell
Quanto quer pagar?
How much do you want to pay?
O que eu tenho
What I've got
Eu devo a Deus
I owe it to God
Meu chão, meu céu, meu mar
My ground, my sky, my sea
Os olhos do meu bem
The eyes of my darling
E os filhos meus
And my children
Se alguém pensa que vai levar
If someone thinks they're going to take
Eu posso vender
I can sell
Quanto vai pagar?
How much will you pay?
Os diamantes rolam no chão
Diamonds roll on the ground
O ouro é poeira
Gold is dust
Muita mulher pra passar sabão
Too many women to put soap on
Papoula pra cheirar
Poppy to smell
Eu posso vender
I can sell
Quando vai pagar?
When will you pay?
Negros quimbundos
Kimbundu Blacks
Pra variar
For a change
Diversos açoites
Miscellaneous lashes
Doces lundus
Lundus candies
Pra nhonhô sonhar
To make us dream
À sombra dos oitis
In the shadow of the oitis
Eu posso vender
I can sell
Que é que você diz?
What do you say?
Sou feliz
I'm happy
E devo a Deus
And I owe it to God
Meu éden tropical
My Tropical Eden
Orgulho dos meus pais
Proud of my parents
E dos filhos meus
And my children
Ninguém me tira nem por mal
No one can take me away even for malice
Mas posso vender
But I can sell
Deixe algum sinal
Leave some sign
Deixe algum sinal
Leave some sign
