Casamento do Caipira

Countryman's Wedding

Casamento do Caipira

In the time when I was youngNo tempo que eu era moço
I liked to have funGostava de adiverti
I used to go to partiesEu ia nas pagodeira
Dancing here and thereDançava daqui pra li

I watched a weddingAssisti um casamento
In the city of JacuíNa cidade de Jacuí
A countryman's weddingCasamento de caipira
Almost made me die laughingQuase me matô de ri

The bride was clumsyA noiva era zaroia
And the groom was chubbyE o noivo era papudo
He seemed happyParecia tá contente
Despite his stern faceMarvado do carrancudo

His suit was very shortPaletó muito curtinho
Pants wide at the bottomCarça boca de canudo
With a mustache spread outDo bigode esparramado
Covering his whole faceQue tampava a cara tudo

When it was time to go to churchNa hora de ir pra igreja
I found it even funnierEu achei mais engraçado
The groom's trousseauEnxovar daqueles noivo
Was all messed upTava tudo atrapaiado

The groom very happyO noivo muito contente
When they walked arm in armQuando o par de braço dado
Both dressed in whiteOs dois vestido de branco
With shoes all wrongCom o sapato tudo errado

A sprig of basilGalho de manjericão
The groom had on his chestO noivo tinha no peito
He was getting married at that momentCasava naquela hora
Everything was fineTava tudo satisfeito

He just wanted the brideEle queria era a noiva
To come in any wayViesse de quarqué jeito
Left boot on the left footButinão do pé esquerdo
Right boot on the right footCarçado no pé direito

When they were asked for their namesQuando foram dar o nome
I got closer to listenBem pertinho eu fui ficá
The priest askedSeu vigário perguntô
If they wanted to marrySe era de gosto casá

They both answered togetherOs dois responderam junto
It's the best thingÉ a coisa mió que há
We want to join the bedNóis qué ajuntá o baixeiro
To increase the offspringPra fiarada aumentá

When it was time to go to bedNa hora de ir deitá
I found it really absurdEu achei mesmo absurdo
They both entered a roomOs dois entraram num quarto
Lying down with their clothes onDeitaram de roupa e tudo

To this day I still rememberAté hoje ainda me lembro
The wedding of the clumsy groomDo casar de butinudo
With Chica ZaroiaA tár de Chica Zaroia
And Pafúncio BigodudoE o Pafúncio Bigodudo
