Haragana Lyrics Translation in English

Meu cigarro de palha

My palha cigarette

Joguei com meu laço no fundo do poço

I threw with my lasso into the bottom of the well

Prometi a São Pedro

I promised Saint Peter

Não jogar a sorte no jogo do osso

Not to gamble my luck in the bone game

Me desfiz do lombilho

I got rid of the lombilho

Vendi o tordilho ainda meio bagual

I sold the tordilho still a bit wild

Pra buscar a morena

To seek the brunette

Que tinha ido embora pra capital

Who had gone to the capital

Ah, morena, moreninha

Ah, brunette, little brunette

Morena má, haragana

Bad brunette, haragana

Volta comigo, morena

Come back with me, brunette

Deixa essa vida cigana

Leave this gypsy life

Ah, morena, moreninha

Ah, brunette, little brunette

Morena má, haragana

Bad brunette, haragana

Volta comigo, morena

Come back with me, brunette

Deixa essa vida cigana

Leave this gypsy life

Bem dizia o compadre

The compadre used to say

A felicidade é que nem passarinho

Happiness is like a little bird

Mal desponta a invernada

As soon as the winter sets in

Ela foge apressada e abandona o ninho

She flies away in a hurry and abandons the nest

Pra matar a saudade

To kill the longing

Que entrou no meu peito e me pealou

That entered my chest and pealed me

Fui buscar a morena

I went to look for the brunette

Que jurou voltar e ainda não voltou

Who swore to come back and hasn't come back yet

Ah, morena, moreninha

Ah, brunette, little brunette

Morena má, haragana

Bad brunette, haragana

Volta comigo, morena

Come back with me, brunette

Deixa essa vida cigana

Leave this gypsy life

Ah, morena, moreninha

Ah, brunette, little brunette

Morena má, haragana

Bad brunette, haragana

Volta comigo, morena

Come back with me, brunette

Deixa essa vida cigana

Leave this gypsy life
