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
