Mineirinho Comedor Lyrics Translation in English
Os Dois Mineiros
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Mineirinho comedor
Comer Mineiro
Tinha parte com o capeta
He had a deal with the devil
Só usava seda e linho
He only used silk and linen
E botinha carrapeta
And little cockroach boots
Nos bares que frequentava
In the bars he used to go
Gastava e dava gorjeta
He spent money and gave tips
A mulherada rodeava
The ladies surrounded him
Mineirinho galanteava
Mineiro flirted
E punha o taco na gaveta
And put the cue in the drawer
Mineirinho comedor
Comer Mineiro
Tinha um coração de ouro
He had a heart of gold
Defendia a parte fraca
Defended the weak
E não gostava de choro
And didn't like crying
Se algum marido valente
If some brave husband
Maltratasse seu tesouro
Mistreated his treasure
Ele entrava no meio
He got in the middle
E o trem ficava feio
And things got ugly
Marido entrava no couro
The husband got beaten up
Certo dia numa festa
One day at a party
Onde só tinha graúdo
Where only big shots were
Deu de cara com um grã-fino
He faced a dandy
Orgulhoso e linguarudo
Proud and talkative
Disse que naquela festa
Said that at that party
Não entrava botinudo
No one entered with boots
Sem precisar de porrete
Without needing a club
Filezinho do banquete
The banquet's delicacy
Mineirinho comeu tudo
Mineiro ate everything
Até hoje o povo conta
To this day people tell
A manha do aventureiro
The cunning of the adventurer
Eta mineiro safado
Oh, sly Mineiro
Chegou e comeu calado
Came and ate quietly
Como manda o bom mineiro
As the good Mineiro does
