Txiku Branku [English translation]

When I was young

Boys courted me

Using their tricks to capture the spoils

Using their tricks to capture the spoils

But my strength and willpower

Were great

I didn’t weary or lose my head

I didn’t weary or lose my head

My virtue isn’t yours

I belong to Txiku Branku

Who works in Lisbon

And will come back to enjoy his retirement

Eia! My virtue isn’t yours

Eia! I belong to Txiku Branku

Eia! My virtue isn’t yours

Eia! I belong to Txiku Branku

You have nothing to offer me

Leave me alone, don’t tempt me

My mother still suffers because of that smooth talker

Who destroyed her life

My virtue isn’t yours

I belong to Txiku Branku
