Ai que linda moça
Language: Portuguese (Português)
Available translation(s): ENG GER SPA
Ai que linda moça
sai d'aquela choça,
loira e engraçada
leva arregaçada
a saia encarnada
de chita grosseira
E cantarolando
vai gentil guiando,
seu ditoso gado,
seu rebanho amado
sempre enamorado
da canção fagueira
Tudo são tristezas
tristezas e dor
tudo são tristezas
para o meu amor

Oh, what a lovely young girl
Language: English after the Portuguese (Português)
Ah what a lovely young girl
is leaving that hovel,
blond and graceful.
Her crimson calico
dress is all
bunched up
And the pretty thing
goes humming
guiding her herd.
her beloved flock,
always enthralled
by her flattering song.
All is sorrow,
sorrow and pain
All is sorrow
for my love
