Pomba Gira Maria Mulambo e Seu Tranca Rua

Pomba Gira Maria Mulambo and Her Tranca Rua

Pomba Gira Maria Mulambo e Seu Tranca Rua

The people wantedO povo queria
To kill a womanMatar uma mulher
The priest disagreed and prayed for her with all his mightO padre não concordou e a rezou com muita fé

He was a sinnerEle era pecador
And in the fire, he died tooE na fogueira morreu junto
He ended up down in hellFoi parar lá no inferno
That couple of corpsesAquele casal de defunto

She joined the ashes and laughed under the moonlightEla se juntou as cinzas e gargalhou a luz da Lua
The woman became a rag and the priest her street blockerA mulher virou mulambo e o padre seu tranca rua
She was condemned by the inquisition's lawFoi condenada pela lei da inquisição
To be burned alive on Good FridayPara ser queimada viva sexta-feira da paixão

The priest prayed and the crowd followedO padre rezava e o povo acompanhava
The more the fire blazedQuanto mais o fogo ardia
She just laughed out loudEla dava gargalhada
