English Translation

Hoje a minha cunhada se levantou para fazer o café.

Today, my sister-in-law got up to make coffee.

Vestida de camisola me dando bola pisou no pé.

Dressed in a nightgown, teasing me, she stepped on my foot.

Levei um susto danado, fiquei parado que tentação.

I got a darned scare, stood still, what a temptation.

em casa tanta fartura, e eu comendo puro arroz e feijão!

At home, so much abundance, and I'm just eating plain rice and beans!


Cunhada, cunhada boa, mas se não fosse irmã da minha patroa

Sister-in-law, good sister-in-law, but if she weren't my boss's sister

Cunhada, cunhada boa, mas se não fosse estaria numa boa.

Sister-in-law, good sister-in-law, but if she weren't, I'd be in a good situation.


Usa vestido curto não por insulto nem por maldade

She wears a short dress not to insult, not out of malice

faz levantar defunto mostranto tudo, agente que sabe

Makes the dead rise, showing everything, we who know

Tu quer segurar a barra e ter que levar sanduiche em festa

You want to handle the situation and end up having to eat a sandwich at the party

sentir o cheiro da comida

Smell the food

olhar com o zói e lamber com a testa.

Look with the eyes and lick with the forehead.


Cunhada, cunhada boa, mas se não fosse irmã da minha patroa

Sister-in-law, good sister-in-law, but if she weren't my boss's sister

Cunhada, cunhada boa, mas se não fosse estaria numa boa.

Sister-in-law, good sister-in-law, but if she weren't, I'd be in a good situation.


Eu nao sei até quando vou aguentar esse tereré

I don't know how long I'll endure this ordeal

A patroa tá de greve e só serve se eu parar de beber

The boss is on strike, and it only works if I stop drinking

O que a cunhada faz não desejo nem pro inimigo

What the sister-in-law does, I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy

A tempo estou de jejum e ela ainda vai acabar comigo.

I've been fasting for a while, and she's going to end up finishing me off.


Cunhada, cunhada boa, mas se não fosse irmã da minha patroa

Sister-in-law, good sister-in-law, but if she weren't my boss's sister

Cunhada, cunhada boa, mas se não fosse estaria numa boa.

Sister-in-law, good sister-in-law, but if she weren't, I'd be in a good situation.
