Marrequinha [English translation]
Marrequinha [English translation]
Marrequinha, Marrequinha
Beware, love is waiting for you
The crazinesses are quickly done
When we have our heart in party
Marrequinha, Marrequinha
Be wary of moonlights
Be careful of eyes that ignite
Admiring your brown skin
In the village, the rumor runs that one saw you
More than once dreaming near the old bridge, at night fall
And one even says that your so thin dress
Flew joyfully under the clear sky like a white butterfly
At your mother who scolded you, you smiled
Saying to her "I was picking flowers in the meadow."
But you were lying because your face and eyes
Didn't have only the shy color of the sky
Marrequinha, Marrequinha
Beware, love is waiting for you
The crazinesses are quickly done
When we have our heart in party
Marrequinha, Marrequinha
Be wary of moonlights
Be careful of eyes that ignite
Admiring your brown skin
One surprised you in the arms of a beautiful boy
And you had, my God, to introduce him at home
You were afraid of your dad, very angry
But your mum said "We marry him and all is clear."
It was a day full of sun and happiness
Musicians were playing on a stage in the flowers
And when, the evening, you followed him in his house
Seeing you going, all the country said in chorus:
Marrequinha, Marrequinha
Beware, love is waiting for you
Smile quickly at him
And you'll make your conquest
Marrequinha, Marrequinha
Two strong arms take you away
You don't need an escort anymore
Cause happiness open its gate to you !
