As meninas da Terceira [English translation]

The girls from Terceira island

Even disliked São Miguel!

Vanity is a bad adviser,

And neither over there did they find love!

The girls from Terceira island

Set out to find husband on the mainland,

And that's really funny:

We must lack human features!

The girls from Terceira island,

With their coquettish dancing,

Are like juicy oranges!

Ah, I wish I could taste them,

Weren't they ill gossiping,

Crabby and jealous.

And you wouldn't even find any joy

In those saltless loaves.

Who has been in Santa Maria,

Has already been in Faial, too.

Everyone who is looking for a nice girl

Steers clear of Terceira!

It's a way better choice to settle down

In São Jorge or in Graciosa!

In Terceira to dance a Chamarrita

Won't help you find a girl to love!

Girls, a nice dance

Isn't supposed to look so shameless.

The rich takes to Terceira

A rich wife from Azores islands

The poor chooses his in Pico

And settles down in Corvo or in Flores.
