Poppies (Zé Mestre's Ballad)

Papoilas (Corrido do Zé Mestre)

Poppies swaying in the windPapoilas que o vento agita
I never tire of seeing youNão me canso de vos ver
Is there anything more beautifulHá lá coisa mais bonita
Than being simple without knowingQue ser simples sem saber

Reapers from RibatejoCeifeiras do Ribatejo
With skirts of red calicoCom saias de rubra chita
Remind me, when I see youLembra-me, quando vos vejo
Poppies swaying in the windPapoilas que o vento agita

Brunettes, lovely maidensMorenas, lindas moçoilas
Living in the countrysideVivem p'ró campo viver
Among the wheat and poppiesEntre o trigo e as papoilas
I never tire of seeing youNão me canso de vos ver

Joyful, dancing awayAlegres, bailando vão
To the blessed taskPara a tarefa bendita
Singing a songEntoando uma canção
Is there anything more beautiful!Há lá coisa mais bonita!

They are unaware of their beautyIgnoram sua beleza
They have no mirror to see itNão têm espelho p'rá a ver
Is there such greatnessHá lá tamanha grandeza
In being simple without knowing!Que ser simples sem saber!

Poppies swaying in the windPapoilas que o vento agita
I never tire of seeing youNão me canso de vos ver
Is there anything more beautifulHá lá coisa mais bonita
Than being simple without knowingQue ser simples sem saber
