Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Eu comprei um sitiozinho

I bought a little farm

Resolvi mudar pra lá

Decided to move there

Logo preparei a terra

Soon I prepared the land

Que plantado tudo dá

Planting everything it yields


Plantei pé de macaxeira bananeira

Planted cassava and banana trees

Plantei milho plantei soja e feijão

Planted corn, soybeans, and beans

Uma horta preparada bem cuidada

A well-cared-for prepared garden

Cinco ou seis metros de chão

Five or six meters of ground

Muita sombra muito verde água fresca

Plenty of shade, lots of green, fresh water

Uma casinha bem singela amarela

A simple, yellow house

Até que minha mulher

Until my wife

Chamou a família dela

Called her family


Veio os burros dos cunhados

The donkeys of the brothers-in-law came

A cachorra da avó dela

Her grandmother's dog came

As galinhas das cunhadas

The sisters-in-law's chickens came

Acabei comendo elas

I ended up eating them

O bode velho do avô

Her grandfather's old goat

O veado do seu tio

Her uncle's deer

Não agüentei a pressão

I couldn't handle the pressure

Encurtei o meu pavio

I shortened my fuse


Perdi a paz, perdi a paz.

Lost my peace, lost my peace

Veio à família e também os animais

The family and also the animals came

Fiquei com raiva e acabei botando fogo

I got angry and ended up setting fire

Na égua da minha sogra

To my mother-in-law's mare

E no cavalo do meu sogro

And to my father-in-law's horse
