Sete Saias [English translation]

Seven balloon skirts

You then take to the pilgrimage

Seven deadly sins

That are showing you are all going to be in strife

Each of its colour

Wherever you go with them

With the seven skipping,

According to the step of your slippers

Seven skirts you bring to fall from the hip

And the white blouse that is really going to kill you

So the boys

Just ask that you fall

To count the skirts without you dancing

With seven I saw you talking

And giving everyone linen handkerchiefs

Does it give you pleasure.

Seven grooms to have

One for each skirt.

According to the voice of reason

Making a collection does not work.

It is best to choose one

And want no more for a boyfriend.

I give you one more piece of advice,

While I am here don't give him any more room

Don't shorten them any more,

If not when you leave, the whole village leaves.

A hand's breadth above the foot

To show Zé where the sock ends,

But for the knee, no

It is confusing and awful.
