Malhão De São Simão [English translation]

Where are you headed in such a hurry,

Brunette of mischievous eyes,

Where are you headed in such a hurry?

O winnower, winnower

Where are you headed in such a hurry?

So quick and in a frenzy

So full of vanity?

This I could well be

You called me little brunette

This I could well be

Ah, winnower, winnower

This I could well be

You should see me on Sunday

I am like a rose in a rose garden!

Go choose a spot where I will be able to see you

If you will be at the Sunday's mass

Go choose a spot where I will be able to see you

Ah, winnower, winnower

Go choose a spot where I will be able to see you

Should not you sit, light of my eyes,

Right there, in the middle of the church!

I have to go to church another day

It can be arranged for next Sunday

I have to go to church another day!

Ah, winnower, winnower

I have to go to church another day

To meet my lover

At the sacristy's door!
