Happy Girl

Alegre Menina

What have you done, Sultan, with my happy girl?O que fizeste, sultão, de minha alegre menina

I gave him a royal palace, a throne of jewelsPalácio real lhe dei, um trono de pedraria
Shoe embroidered with gold, emeralds and rubiesSapato bordado a ouro, esmeraldas e rubis
Amethyst for fingers, diamond dressesAmetista para os dedos, vestidos de diamantes
Slaves to serve her, a place in my canopyEscravas para serví-la, um lugar no meu dossel
And I called her queen, and I called her queenE a chamei de rainha, e a chamei de rainha

What have you done, Sultan, with my happy girl?O que fizeste, sultão, de minha alegre menina

I just wanted to go to the countryside, to pick the flowers from the forestSó desejava campina, colher as flores do mato
I just wanted a glass mirror to look at myself inSó desejava um espelho de vidro prá se mirar
I just wanted the sun to warm me up so I could live wellSó desejava do sol calor para bem viver
I just wanted the silver moonlight to restSó desejava o luar de prata prá repousar
I only wanted the love of men to love wellSó desejava o amor dos homens prá bem amar
I only wanted the love of men to love wellSó desejava o amor dos homens prá bem amar

I took you to the royal ball, happy girlNo baile real levei a tu alegre menina
Dressed as royalty, she chatted with princessesVestida de realeza, com princesas conversou
With doctors he practiced, he danced the playful danceCom doutores praticou, dançou a dança faceira
He drank the most expensive wine, bit into foreign fruitBebeu o vinho mais caro, mordeu fruta estrangeira
Entered into the arms of the king, queen, but trueEntrou nos braços do rei, rainha, mas verdadeira
Entered into the arms of the king, queen, but trueEntrou nos braços do rei, rainha, mas verdadeira
