Andrajos Lyrics Translation in English

Quando te encontrei passavas fome

When I found you, you were starving

Não tinha lar e os homens

You had no home, and people

Ate fugiam de ti

Even avoided you

Troquei por acasar os teus farrapos

I exchanged your rags by chance

Substitui teus trapos

I replaced your scraps

Por tecido de organdi

With organdy fabric

Estas pagando o bem que te fiz

You're paying for the good I did to you

Tentando me fazer mal

Trying to harm me

Na lei da vida tudo isso é natural

In the law of life, all of this is natural

Esquece que mudei a tua vida

Forget that I changed your life

És tão mal agradecida

You are so ungrateful

Que a subida, te envaideceu

That the ascent has made you proud

E a recompensa, por trataste como dama

And the reward, for treating you like a lady

Queres salpicar de lama

You want to splash with mud

Este lar que te acolheu

This home that welcomed you

Mas eu guardei os teus farrapos e andrajos

But I kept your rags and tatters

Mostrarei para teu gajos

I will show them to your guys

A tua origem de mulher

Your origin as a woman

Já que agora

Now that you are

Estas tão solicitada

So sought after

Por favor não digas nada

Please don't say anything

Podes ir quando quiser

You can leave whenever you want
