Mulher Feia Lyrics Translation in English

Pai, filho, Espírito Santo, cruz credo Virgem Maria

Father, son, Holy Spirit, cross, Virgin Mary

Quando viam minha mulher era o que todos diziam

When they saw my wife, that's what everyone said

A criançada chorava, os grandes ficavam sérios

The kids cried, the adults got serious

Com certeza essa fantasma escapou do cemitério

Surely this ghost escaped from the cemetery

Os vizinhos me diziam que fizeram algum feitiço

The neighbors told me they did some spell

Era louco ou estava cego quando casou com este bicho

Was I crazy or blind when I married this creature?

Eu então me ofendia e já queria peleia

I then got offended and wanted a fight

Dizem que o amor é cego e eu nunca lhe achei feia

They say love is blind, and I never found her ugly

Ela pesava trinta quilos, um metro e noventa de altura

She weighed thirty kilos, one meter and ninety in height

Calçava quarenta e quatro perninha de saracura

Wore size forty-four, had sparrow-like legs

Tinha um olho furado era careca e banguela

Had a pierced eye, was bald and toothless

O nariz era volteado e a boca era ma gamela

The nose was turned, and the mouth was like a trough

Era troncha das orelhas não podia usar brinco

Had crooked ears, couldn't wear earrings

Porque ficou defeituosa na revolução de trinta e cinco

Because she became defective in the revolution of thirty-five

O que ela tinha de bonito palmo e meio de pescoço

What she had beautiful was a foot and a half of neck

Com cento e oitenta berrugas e um papo de três caroços

With a hundred and eighty warts and a three-knob neck

Um dia nós se agarremos e deu uma baita de uma paulera

One day we fought, and it gave a great beating

Amarrei a caninana e remeti lá pra fronteira

Tied the knot and sent her to the border

Dizem que lá arranjou marido e se casaram por contrato

They say she found a husband there and married by contract

Três dias dorme com ela, três dias dorme no mato

Three days sleep with her, three days sleep in the bush
