Feijoada Completa Lyrics in English Chico Buarque
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Feijoada Completa by Chico Buarque from Portuguese to English.
Mulher
Woman
Você vai gostar
You're gonna like it
Tô levando uns amigos pra conversar
I'm bringing some friends over to chat
Ellis vão com uma fome que nem me contem
They're so hungry you wouldn't believe
Ellis vão com uma sede de anteontem
They're thirsty since the day before yesterday
Salta cerveja estupidamente gelada prum batalhão
Crack open ice-cold beer for a whole battalion
E vamos botar água no feijão
And let's add water to the beans
Mulher
Woman
Não vá se afobar
Don't rush
Não tem que pôr a mesa, nem dá lugar
No need to set the table or make room
Ponha os pratos no chão, e o chão tá posto
Put the plates on the floor, the floor's set
E prepare as lingüiças pro tiragosto
And prep the sausages for the snacks
Uca, açúcar, cumbuca de gelo, limão
Cachaça, sugar, a bowl of ice, lemon
E vamos botar água no feijão
And let's add water to the beans
Mulher
Woman
Você vai fritar
You're gonna fry
Um montão de torresmo pra acompanhar
A pile of pork rinds to go with it
Arroz branco, farofa e a malagueta
White rice, farofa and malagueta
A laranja-bahia, ou da seleta
Bahia orange, or the seleta
Joga o paio, carne seca, toucinho no caldeirão
Throw the paio, jerked beef, bacon into the pot
E vamos botar água no feijão
And let's add water to the beans
Mulher
Woman
Depois de salgar
After salting
Faça um bom refogado, que é pra engrossar
Make a good sauté to thicken it up
Aproveite a gordura da frigideira
Use the fat from the frying pan
Pra melhor temperar a couve mineira
To season the Minas collards better
Diz que tá dura, pendura a fatura no nosso irmão
Say we're broke, stick the bill on our brother
E vamos botar água no feijão
And let's add water to the beans
