Gemedeira Lyrics Translation in English

Tava eu mirando a lua

I was gazing at the moon

Veio a moça me olhar

A girl came to look at me

Perguntei se era nova

I asked if she was new

Não custou me apaixonar

It didn't take long for me to fall in love

No cavalo de São Jorge

On the horse of Saint George

Já mulher a galopar

Already a woman galloping

Sete léguas de paixão

Seven leagues of passion

Sem parar de suspirar

Without stopping sighing

Tava tocando a viola

I was playing the guitar

Num galope à beira mar

In a gallop by the seashore

Ai, ai, ai, é bom que dói

Ah, ah, ah, it's so good it hurts

Ui, ui, ui, chega a sangrar

Ooh, ooh, ooh, it even bleeds

Gemedeira é que nem beijo

Groaning is like a kiss

Começou custa a parar

Once it starts, it's hard to stop

Ela olhou, pediu um xote

She looked, asked for a dance

Pra gemer bastou te amar

To moan, it was enough to love you

Tava sentado na pedra

I was sitting on the rock

Veio o dono reclamar

The owner came to complain

Perguntou pra ver quem era

Asked to see who it was

Não custou me apresentar

It didn't take long to introduce myself

Com cem tiros de pistola

With a hundred shots from a pistol

Sete furos de punhal

Seven stabs from a dagger

Sou violeiro, patrão

I'm a troubadour, boss

Ele não pôde escutar

He couldn't hear
