O Amor É Cego

O amor e cego,

Love is blind,

Mas o pai dela tinha um olho de radar,

But her father had a radar eye,

Seu nome pego com meu santo e minha reza

Her name caught with my saint and my prayer,

O velho pé só me pegava pra casar.

The old man only caught me to marry.

The old man only caught me to marry.

Fez o conselho de família e me chamou,

He made a family council and called me,

Participou com toda a gentileza.

Participated with all kindness.

Vou-te amarrar com os laços de adimiro,

I will tie you with admiration's ties,

Assim menina com ajudas da despesa,

So, girl, with the help of expenses,

Tirei o corpo numa ginga diferente,

I moved my body in a different sway,

Que muita gente debruça pra ser feliz,

That many people lean to be happy.

As argolas que a gente usa no dedo

The rings we wear on our fingers,

Eles queriam colocar no meu nariz,

They wanted to put on my nose,

Mas eu não quis.

But I didn't want to.
