Cevando o Amargo [English translation]

Hey, pal, stretch out your legs

Get the chair and sit down

Put the straw1 behind your ear

As the housekeeper2 goes chopping

As the kettle sizzles

I'll go nurturing my bitterness

As the kettle sizzles

(I'll go nurturing my bitterness)

It's good that you came

I had to tell you

A gaúcho3 in love

Needs to let off steam

Rosinha went away

With my friend João

It's well said that women have wings

On the edge of their hearts

It's well said that women have wings

On the edge of their hearts

1. A cigarette made of this substance2. I couldn't find a better translation for this word, so I went with what I thought would convey the same message3. A man from Rio Grande do Sul
