Eu Acho É Bom Lyrics Translation in English

Um sujeitinho casado

A married guy

E metido a bonitão

And acting like a handsome man

Só vivia paquerando

He was always flirting

Parecia um gavião,

Seemed like a hawk

Mas um dia a mulher dele

But one day his wife

Tomou essa decisão

Made that decision

Fugiu com um boiadeiro

Ran away with a cowboy

E deixou ele na mão,

And left him high and dry

Achei bom e achei pouco

I thought it was good, and I thought it was little

Eu achei pouco e achei bom.

I thought it was little, and I thought it was good

A menina foi na igreja

The girl went to church

Pra cumprir a religião

To fulfill her religion

Um rapazinho mexia

A young man was hitting on her

Só dizendo palavrão,

Just saying dirty words

A menina mandou o pai

The girl told her father

Esperar no quarteirão

To wait on the block

Nesse dia o rapazinho

That day the young man

Levou tanto pescoção,

Took quite a beating

Achei bom e achei pouco

I thought it was good, and I thought it was little

Eu achei pouco e achei bom.

I thought it was little, and I thought it was good

Conheci uma donzela

I met a maiden

A mais bonita da região

The most beautiful in the region

Dizia com muito orgulho

She said with great pride

E batia o pé no chão,

And stamped her foot on the ground

Com moço pobre eu não caso

With a poor guy, I won't marry

Eu quero ter posição

I want to have a position

Ficou velha solteirona

She became an old spinster

Mais feia do que um canhão,

Uglier than a cannon

Achei bom e achei pouco

I thought it was good, and I thought it was little

Eu achei pouco e achei bom.

I thought it was little, and I thought it was good

Conheci um fazendeiro

I met a farmer

Dono de muitos milhão

Owner of many millions

Não dava esmola a ninguém

Didn't give alms to anyone

E judiava dos peão,

And mistreated the workers

Castigo veio a cavalo

Retribution came riding

Perdeu tostão por tostão

Lost penny by penny

Vi ele ganhando o pão

I saw him earning his bread

No cabo do enxadão,

On the handle of the hoe

Achei bom e achei pouco

I thought it was good, and I thought it was little

Eu achei pouco e achei bom.

I thought it was little, and I thought it was good
