Viuvinha Lyrics Translation in English

Florinhas nos pés

Little flowers on the feet

Cruzinha na mão

Little cross in hand

Tão arrumadinho

So neat

Tens o teu caixão

You have your coffin

Linda posição

Beautiful position

Lencinho na cara

Little handkerchief on the face

Posto com cuidado

Placed with care

Não vá a rendinha

So the lace doesn't

Mostrar descarnado

Show bare

Mostrar desgraçado

Show miserable

Olha a linda noiva

Look at the beautiful bride

Que ia-se a casar

Who was about to get married

Mas ficou viúva

But became a widow

Antes do altar

Before the altar

E eras tão novo

And you were so young

E tão bem cuidado

And so well taken care of

Com a tua vida

With your life

Vais ser enterrado

You will be buried

Vais ser olvidado

You will be forgotten

De nada serviu

It served for nothing

Todo o teu amor

All your love

Todo o teu carinho

All your affection

Desta p'ra melhor

From this life to a better one

E foste sozinho

And you went alone
