Na imenda Lyrics Translation in English

Na emenda

In the patch

Amarre a corda direito

Tie the rope right

Na emenda

In the patch

Pra corda não rebentar

So the rope won't snap

Na emenda

In the patch

Mas dê um nó de respeito

But tie a knot with respect

Quero o povo satisfeito

I want the people satisfied

Brincando de emendar

Playing at patching up

Na emenda

In the patch

Tem moça que quebra jura

There's a girl who breaks vows

Na emenda

In the patch

E depois não pode emendar

And then can't patch things up

Na emenda

In the patch

Mas cantador de viola

But the viola player

Arruma a rima na hora

Fixes the rhyme on the spot

E não deixa a rima quebrar

And doesn't let the rhyme break

Eu vou fazer um engenho

I'm going to build a device

Na emenda

In the patch

De corda de caroá

With caroá rope

Na emenda

In the patch

É um trabalho bonito

It's a beautiful job

Mulher torcendo o cambito

Woman twisting the cambito

Fazendo a corda acochar

Making the rope taut

Na emenda

In the patch

Os velhos tavam brincando

The old folks were playing

E depois deram pra brigar

And then they started to fight

Na emenda

In the patch

A tristeza criou dó

Sadness created pity

Vovô enganou vovó

Grandpa fooled grandma

Na hora de emendar

When it came time to patch things up
