Casamento Improvisado

Spoken: Whoever wants to steal a girl to marry, go do the job alone. Don't send anyone in your place, no! So what happened to Mane de Sá Firmina doesn't happen again, Ah! Ah!Falado: Quem quisé roubá moça pra casá, que vá fazer o serviço sozinho. Num mande ninguém no seu lugá, não! Pra num acontecer o que aconteceu com Mane de Sá Firmina, Ah! Ah!

I was walking quietly, ai, aiEu bem que andava quéto, ai, ai
Without any troubleSem ter aperriação
And here comes Mane de Sá Firmina, ai, ai (repeat)E vem Mane de Sá Firmina, ai, ai } bis
And puts me in a messE me botou na confusão
Asked me to steal Aurora, ai, aiPediu pr' eu roubá Aurora, ai, ai
Daughter of Chico SimãoFía de Chico Simão
Preparing three horsesPreparando três cavalo
And we went to steal AuroraE fumo roubá Aurora
Oh, the roosters were crowingOi galos tavam cantando

It was almost four o'clockEra quaje quatro hora
We arrived at the crossroadsCheguemo na encruziada
Down by TinguíLá na baixa do Tinguí
Mané said, go nowMané diche, vai agora
I'll wait for you hereQue eu te espero por aqui
Give two cat meowsDá dois miado de gato
Give two cat meows (repeat)Dá dois miado de gato } bis
She'll come after youQue ela vem atrás de ti

I did everything as he said, ai, aiFiz tudo como ele diche, ai, ai
She came and asked:Ela veio e perguntou:
Where's Mane? Are you scared? Ai, aiCadê Mane? Tá cum medo? Ai, ai
And why did he send youE pro que foi que lhe mandou
I won't run away, he sent meEu num fujo que lhe mandou
I won't run away with him anymore, ai, aiEu num fujo mais com ele, ai, ai
If you want, I'll go with youSe tu quiser, mais tu eu vou

Without thinking like a childSem pensar que nem menino
I felt the fire in my throatSentí o fogo na goela

I grabbed Aurora right thereGarrei a Aroura ali mermo
Put her on the saddle's moonBotei na lua da sela
Left Mane where he wasDeixei Mané aonde tava
Took another pathEntrei por outro caminho
I went to Vila BelaMe danei pra Vila Bela
Where my godfather livesDonde mora meu padrim

Today we are marriedNóis hoje semo casado
Today we are marriedNóis hoje semo casado
And we have eight little bellies (repeat)E temo oito buchudinho } bis
