Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Menina (Deus Te Dê Juízo) by Vanessa da Mata from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Implorei a madrinha pra rezar um terço
I begged the godmother to pray a rosary
Se ela canta a ladainha
If she sings the little one
Ele volta sem peso
It comes back weightless
Que eu lhe causei
That I caused you
Se vier, prometi à madrinha me curar
If I come, I promised the godmother i'd heal
Das ofertas pagãs
From pagan offers
Dessa rua perdida
From this lost street
Com toda a minha alma
With all my soul
Pensando melhor madrinha
Thinking better godmother
Peço que reze três terços
I ask you to pray three-thirds
Para eu resistir
For me to resist
Pedi à minha santa
I asked my saint
Para ter paciência comigo
To be patient with me
Já é certo que ela tira
It's certain that she takes
Do meu destino nos becos
From my fate in the alleys
Onde vou dançar
Where I'm going to dance
A senhora sempre diz
You always say
Que conselho não se dá
What advice is not
Minha cabeça repete
My head repeats
Suas palavras no mantra
Your words in the mantra
Deus te dê juízo
God give you judgment
Deus te dê juízo
God give you judgment
Deus te dê juízo
God give you judgment
Deus te dê juízo
God give you judgment
Deus te dê juízo
God give you judgment
Deus te dê juízo
God give you judgment
