Gemedeira Lyrics Translation in English

Tava eu mirando a lua

I was gazing at the moon

Veio a moça a me olhar

Then the girl looked at me

Perguntei se era nova

I asked if she was new

Não custou me apaixonar

It didn't take long to fall in love

Num cavalo de São Jorge

On a horse from São Jorge

A mulher a galopar

The woman galloping

Sete léguas de paixão

Seven leagues of passion

Sem parar de suspirar

Without stopping sighs

Tava tocando viola

I was playing the guitar

Num galope a beira mar

In a gallop by the seaside

Ai ai ai é bom que dói

Oh oh oh, it's so good it hurts

Ui ui ui chega a sangrar

Uh uh uh, it almost bleeds

Gemedeira é que nem beijo

Moaning is like a kiss

Começou custa a aparar

It starts, it's hard to trim

Ela olhou pediu um xote

She looked and asked for a dance

Pra gemer bastou te amar

To moan, it was enough to love you

Tava sentada na pedra

I was sitting on the rock

Veio o dono a reclamar

Then the owner came to complain

Perguntou pra ver quem era não custou me apresentar

Asked to see who I was, didn't take long to introduce myself

Com cem tiros de pistola

With a hundred shots of a pistol

Sete furos de punhal

Seven stabs of a dagger

Sou violeiro padrão

I'm a standard guitar player

Ele não pôde escutar

He couldn't hear
