These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
De manhã cedo essa senhora se conforma
Early in the morning this lady conforms
Bota a mesa
Set the table
Tira o pó
Dust off
Lava a roupa, seca os olhos
Wash your clothes, dry your eyes
Como essa santa não se esquece
How this saint never forgets
De pedir pelas mulheres
To ask for women
Pelos filhos, pelo pão
For children, for bread
Depois sorri meio sem graça
Then he smiled awkwardly
E abraça aquele homem
And hug that man
Aquele mundo que a faz assim feliz
That world that makes her so happy
De tardezinha essa menina se namora
In the afternoon this girl is dating
Se enfeita, se decora
Decorate yourself, decorate yourself
Sabe tudo, não faz mal
Know everything, it doesn't matter
Como essa coisa é tão bonita
How is this thing so beautiful
Ser cantora, ser artista
Being a singer, being an artist
Isso tudo é muito bom
This is all very good
E chora tanto de prazer e de agonia
And cries so much with pleasure and agony
De algum dia, qualquer dia
Someday, any day
Entender de ser feliz
Understanding how to be happy
De madrugada, essa mulher faz tanto estrago
At dawn, this woman does so much damage
Tira a roupa, faz a cama
Take off your clothes, make the bed
Vira a mesa, seca o bar
Turn the table over, dry the bar
Como essa louca se esquece
How does this crazy woman forget
Quantos homens enlouquece
How many men go crazy
Nessa boca, nesse chão
In this mouth, on this floor
Depois parece que acha graça e agradece
Then he seems to find it funny and thanks
Ao destino
To destination
Àquilo tudo que a faz tão infeliz
To everything that makes her so unhappy
Essa menina, essa mulher, essa senhora
This girl, this woman, this lady
Em que esbarro a toda hora
What do I bump into all the time?
Num espelho casual
In a casual mirror
É feita de sombra e tanta luz
It's made of shadow and so much light
De tanta lama e tanta cruz
So much mud and so much cross
Que acha tudo natural
Who thinks everything is natural
