Minha Sogra Lyrics Translation in English
Vá-de-Viró
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Minha sogra diz que tem,
My mother-in-law says she has,
Ai, ai, ai!
Oh, oh, oh!
Uma prenda p'ra me dar;
A gift to give me;
Ai, ai, ai!
Oh, oh, oh!
Ai se m'ela não der o filho,
Oh, if she doesn't give me her son,
Ai, ai, ai!
Oh, oh, oh!
Pode a prenda arrecadar.
She can keep the gift.
Minha sogra tem mau gosto,
My mother-in-law has bad taste,
Ai, ai, ai!
Oh, oh, oh!
Gosta de chita amarela;
She likes yellow chintz;
Ai, ai, ai!
Oh, oh, oh!
Ela não gosta de mim,
She doesn't like me,
Ai, ai, ai!
Oh, oh, oh!
Eu também não gosto dela.
I don't like her either.
Minha sogra quer-me mal,
My mother-in-law wishes me ill,
Ai, ai, ai!
Oh, oh, oh!
De eu para o filho falar;
To talk to her son;
Ai, ai, ai!
Oh, oh, oh!
Tem o lá, faça-o de açorda,
She has it, make it into a porridge,
Ai, ai, ai!
Oh, oh, oh!
Amanhã para o jantar.
For tomorrow's dinner.
Minha sogra morreu ontem,
My mother-in-law died yesterday,
Ai, ai, ai!
Oh, oh, oh!
O demónio vá com ela
May the devil go with her
Ai, ai, ai!
Oh, oh, oh!
Deixou-me as chaves da adega,
She left me the keys to the cellar,
Ai, ai, ai!
Oh, oh, oh!
O vinho bebeu-o ela.
She drank the wine.
Minha sogra morreu ontem,
My mother-in-law died yesterday,
Ai, ai, ai!
Oh, oh, oh!
Enterrei-a na lareira;
I buried her in the fireplace;
Ai, ai, ai!
Oh, oh, oh!
Deixei-lhe uma mão de fora,
I left one hand outside,
Ai, ai, ai!
Oh, oh, oh!
P'ra dançar a farrapeira.
To dance the farrapeira.
Minha sogra morreu,
My mother-in-law died,
Ai, ai, ai!
Oh, oh, oh!
Mas não quis ir no caixão
But she didn't want to go in the coffin,
Ai, ai, ai!
Oh, oh, oh!
Sem levar ao lado dela,
Without taking with her,
Ai, ai, ai!
Oh, oh, oh!
Bom vinho num garrafão.
Good wine in a large bottle.
