A Maria peneirou! (peneirou, peneirou)
Maria sifted! (sifted, sifted)
Maria engravidou! (engravidou, engravidou!)
Maria got pregnant! (got pregnant, got pregnant!)
Essa história da Maria
This story of Maria
O meu pai já me contava
My father used to tell me
Toda vez que ela saia
Every time she went out
Peneirava, engravidava!
Sifting, getting pregnant!
Uma vez o motorista
Once the driver
Outra vez era o vigia
Another time it was the guard
Até o locutor
Even the announcer
Que falava: Alô Maria
Who said: Hello Maria
Toda vez que ela saiam
Every time they went out
Engravidavam a Maria!
They impregnated Maria!
A Maria peneirou! (peneirou! Peneirou!)
Maria sifted! (sifted! Sifted!)
Maria engravidou! (engravidou! Engravidou!)
Maria got pregnant! (got pregnant! Got pregnant!)
Conheci uma Maria
I met a Maria
Que chamavam batalhão
They called Battalion
Ela ia do soldado, até o capitão
She went from the soldier to the captain
Conhecida em São Paulo, até no Maranhão
Known in São Paulo, even in Maranhão
Entrava na igreja
She entered the church
Pra falar com o padre mestre
To talk to the master priest
Mas pra pedir perdão!
But to ask for forgiveness!
