Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

O povo queria matar uma mulher

The people wanted to kill a woman

O padre não concordou

The priest did not agree

E a rezou com muita fé

And prayed for her with great faith

Ele era pecador

He was a sinner

E na fogueira morreu junto

And in the bonfire, he died together

Foi parar la no inferno

Ended up in hell

Aquele casal de defunto

That dead couple

Ele se juntou a cinzas

He joined the ashes

Gargalhou a Luz da Lua

Laughed at the Light of the Moon

A mulher virou mulambo

The woman turned into rags

E o padre seu tranca ruas

And the priest to his crossroads


Foi condenada

She was condemned

Pela lei da inquisição

By the law of the inquisition

Para ser queimada viva

To be burned alive

Sexta-feira da paixão

Good Friday of passion


Foi condenada

She was condemned

Pela lei da inquisição

By the law of the inquisition

Para ser queimada viva

To be burned alive

Sexta-feira da paixão

Good Friday of passion


O padre rezava

The priest prayed

E o povo acompanhava

And the people followed

Quanto mais o fogo ardia

The more the fire burned

Ela dava gargalhada

She laughed


O padre rezava

The priest prayed

E o povo acompanhava

And the people followed

Quanto mais o fogo ardia

The more the fire burned

Ela dava gargalhada

She laughed
