Pra onde vás Maria

Where Are You Going, Maria?

Pra onde vás Maria

Oh, the fleas are biting me,Ai, que me comen as pulgas,
oh, my teeth are chattering!:ai, que me chouchan os dentes!:
young man, in your bed,rapaza, na túa cama,
in your bed you havena túa cma tes
some sick fleas.unhas pulgas doentes.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING, MARIA?!PRA ONDE VAS MARIA?!
I’m coming from the garden,VEÑO DA VERDURA,
what tasty cabbagesQUE RICOS REPOLOS
the priest has,TEN O SEÑOR CURA,
beneath his skirt.POR BAIXO DA SAIA.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING, MARIA?!PRA ONDE VAS MARIA?!
I’m coming from the salad!VEÑO DA ENSALADA!

To which house with a widower,A que casa cun viudo,
does she want to get married;ten ganas de se casar;
he’s already been shaken off,fol que xa foi sacudido,
my dear,miña queridiña,
he’s not worth a dime!fariña non da!

The old lady with white hairA vella do pelo branco
who goes to the party and doesn’t dance,que vai á festa e non baila,
if the piper plays,se tocar ó gaiteiro,
my dear Farruco,Farruco querido,
she just stares at the bagpipes!só mira pra gaita!

My man went to the mill,O meu home foi ó muiño,
and came back full of flour:e veu cheo de fariña:
he’s not a miller,él miuñero non é,
what the hell kind of man do I have?!que diaño de home teño?!
who’s getting close to me?!a quen se me arrima?!
