English Translation

Se um dia acontecesse

If one day it happened

De nós se amirar

That we fell in love

Um cadinho que sêsse

A little bit more

E se acaso ocorresse

And if by chance it occurred

De tu se engraçasse

That you found it amusing

E eu correspondesse

And I responded

E se aprumasse

And if it straightened up

E se desgarrasse

And if it wandered off

De qualquer devesse

From any obligation

E na hora do enlace

And at the moment of union

Eu não me furtasse

I wouldn't shy away

E tu me arrecebesse.

And you would accept me


E nós se empariasse

And we would pair up

Tu me trespassasse

You would pierce me

Eu não me contesse

I wouldn't hold back

E eu mais tu se embrenhasse

And I and you would immerse

E nem assuntasse

And wouldn't care

De tanto queresse

As much as you desired

E adispois começasse

And afterward would begin

Teus óio virasse

You would turn your eyes

Minhas pernas tremesse

My legs would tremble

E se do Diabo gostasse

And if the Devil liked it

Deus escutasse

God listened

E um anjo descesse.

And an angel descended


E achegasse num susto

And approached suddenly

E com muito custo

And with much effort

Nós se apercebesse

We would realize

E ele arresolvesse

And he would resolve

Arrastar asa pra tu, e eu vêsse

To drag his wings to you, and I would see

E o safado eu maldasse

And the scoundrel I would curse

(Que Deus perdoasse)

(May God forgive)

Eu ensandecesse

I would go insane

E o anjo depenasse

And the angel would pluck

Ele gargalhasse

He would laugh heartily

E arrespondesse:

And reply:


"Fui pro céu por acaso

"I went to heaven by chance

(Um caso com uma santa estrangeira)

(A case with a foreign saint)

Os donzelo odiaram

The young men hated

E me agarraram com uma padroeira

And caught me with a patron saint

Então fui rebaixado

So I was demoted

Pra Anjo da Guarda das Virgem Embusteira

To Guardian Angel of Deceptive Virgins

E agora depenado

And now, plucked

Vou virar beato

I'm going to become devout

Das alcoviteiras".

Of the matchmakers".
