Pomba Gira Maria Mulambo e Seu Tranca Rua Lyrics Translation in English

O povo queria

The people wanted

Matar uma mulher

To kill a woman

O padre não concordou e a rezou com muita fé

The priest disagreed and prayed for her with great faith

Ele era pecador

He was a sinner

E na fogueira morreu junto

And in the fire, he died together

Foi parar lá no inferno

Ended up in hell

Aquele casal de defunto

That couple of the deceased

Ela se juntou as cinzas e gargalhou a luz da Lua

She joined the ashes and laughed in the light of the moon

A mulher virou mulambo e o padre seu tranca rua

The woman turned into rags, and the priest into her tramp street

Foi condenada pela lei da inquisição

She was condemned by the law of the inquisition

Para ser queimada viva sexta-feira da paixão

To be burned alive on Good Friday

O padre rezava e o povo acompanhava

The priest prayed, and the people followed

Quanto mais o fogo ardia

The more the fire burned

Ela dava gargalhada

She laughed
