Ai Moreninha Lyrics Translation in English

Peito bão e viola boa

Good chest and a good guitar

São duas grande riqueza

Are two great riches

Viola boa e peito bão

Good guitar and a good chest

Tenho pra minha defesa

I have for my defense

Eu venho vindo de longe

I come from afar

E não sou desta redondeza

And I'm not from around here

Chegando trago alegria

Arriving, I bring joy

Saindo deixo tristeza

Leaving, I leave sadness

Ai, ai moreninha

Oh, oh, little dark one

Ai moreninha

Oh, little dark one

Amaste fora de hora

You loved out of season

Ai moreninha

Oh, little dark one

Amaste fora de hora

You loved out of season

Agora acabei de crer

Now I just came to believe

Quem te ama vai-se embora

Who loves you will leave

Agora acabei de crer

Now I just came to believe

Quem te ama vai-se embora

Who loves you will leave

Ai, ai moreninha

Oh, oh, little dark one

Sou um caboclinho do mato

I'm a forest guy

Eu vim de lá pegado à laço

I came from there, caught with a lasso

Eu não sei falar bonito

I don't know how to speak fancy

Se eu começo eu me embaraço

If I start, I get tangled up

No braço desta viola

In the arm of this guitar

O que ninguém faz eu faço

What no one does, I do

Muitas morena importante

Many important brunettes

Tem chorado nos meus braço

Have cried in my arms

Ai, ai moreninha

Oh, oh, little dark one

Pra fazer a despedida

To bid farewell

Convidei meu companheiro

I invited my companion

Vou deixar a moreninha

I'm leaving the little dark one

Chorando de desespero

Crying in desperation

Coração que custa caro

Heart that is expensive

Eu conquisto sem dinheiro

I conquer without money

Morena digo um conseio

Brunette, I say some advice

Não se case com violeiro

Don't marry a guitar player

Ai, ai moreninha

Oh, oh, little dark one

Ai moreninha

Oh, little dark one

Amaste fora de hora

You loved out of season

Ai moreninha

Oh, little dark one

Amaste fora de hora

You loved out of season

Agora acabei de crer

Now I just came to believe

Quem te ama vai-se embora

Who loves you will leave

Agora acabei de crer

Now I just came to believe

Quem te ama vai-se embora

Who loves you will leave

Ai, ai moreninha

Oh, oh, little dark one
