Pega Ladrão [English translation]
I was with a bud in the doorway
When I heard a scream: catch the thief!
I became suddenly alert, yet I didn't see anyone
And I waited for that poacher to pass through there
My lover entered the house frightened
And didn't even kiss me upon leaving
Suddenly a tremendous uproar came from the streets
Well soon someone caught that bandit
What did he rob? What did he do?
The buds all responded at once
He stole a heart and needs to return it
Unless he'll see the square Sun be born
I won't believe in this story
No one can steal a heart
While I spoke, the man vanished
He slipped away shuffling down through the road
All of a sudden then everything changed
And the gang turned the tables on me
Fleeing I discovered that this heart
Was just a jewel suspended on a string.
