O que fizeste, sultão, de minha alegre menina
What have you done, sultan, to my happy girl?
Palácio real lhe dei, um trono de pedraria
I gave him a royal palace, a throne of stones
Sapato bordado a ouro, esmeraldas e rubis
Shoes embroidered with gold, emeralds and rubies
Ametista para os dedos, vestidos de diamantes
Amethyst for fingers, diamond dresses
Escravas para serví-la, um lugar no meu dossel
Slaves to serve you, a place in my canopy
E a chamei de rainha, e a chamei de rainha
And I called her queen, and I called her queen
O que fizeste, sultão, de minha alegre menina
What have you done, sultan, to my happy girl?
Só desejava campina, colher as flores do mato
I just wanted the meadow, to pick the flowers from the forest
Só desejava um espelho de vidro prá se mirar
I just wanted a glass mirror to look at myself
Só desejava do sol calor para bem viver
I just wanted warmth from the sun to live well
Só desejava o luar de prata prá repousar
I just wanted the silver moonlight to rest
Só desejava o amor dos homens prá bem amar
I only wanted the love of men to love well
Só desejava o amor dos homens prá bem amar
I only wanted the love of men to love well
No baile real levei a tu alegre menina
At the royal ball I took your happy girl
Vestida de realeza, com princesas conversou
Dressed as royalty, she talked to princesses
Com doutores praticou, dançou a dança faceira
With doctors he practiced, he danced the faceira dance
Bebeu o vinho mais caro, mordeu fruta estrangeira
Drank the most expensive wine, bit foreign fruit
Entrou nos braços do rei, rainha mas verdadeira
Entered the arms of the king, queen but true
Entrou nos braços do rei, rainha mas verdadeira
Entered the arms of the king, queen but true
