Lyrics and translation Camane feat. Carlos Do Carmo - A Lucinda camareira (With Carlos do Carmo)




A Lucinda camareira (With Carlos do Carmo)
Lucinda the Waitress (With Carlos do Carmo)
A Lucinda camareira
Lucinda the waitress
Era a moça mais ladina
Was the most cunning girl
Mais formosa, mais brejeira
Beautiful, the liveliest
Do café da Marcelina
In Marcelina's coffee shop
De maneira graciosa
Gracefully
Sobre um lindo penteado
On top of a beautiful hairstyle
Trazia sempre uma rosa
She always wore a rose
Cor de rosa avermelhado
Rose-red
Eu vivi enfeitiçado
I was bewitched
Por aquela feiticeira
By that sorceress
Que airosamente ligeira
Who briskly served
Servia de mesa em mesa
From table to table
Tinha feições de princesa
She had the features of a princess
A Lucinda camareira
Lucinda the waitress
Primando pela brancura
Striving for whiteness
O seu avental de folhos
Her ruffled apron
Realçava-lhe a negrura
Emphasized her darkness
Encantadora dos olhos
Enchanter of eyes
Nem desgostos nem abrolhos
No sorrows or troubles
Sofrera desde menina
She had suffered since childhood
Que apesar de libertina
That despite being licentious
Orgulhosa e perturbante
Proud and disturbing
No velho café cantante
In the old café-chantant
Era a moça mais ladina
She was the most cunning girl
Os marialvas em tipóias
Gentlemen from Marialva in carriages
Iam da baixa num salto
Came from the city center in a jump
Ver a mais linda das joias
To see the most beautiful of jewels
Ao café do Bairro Alto
At the Café do Bairro Alto
A camareira que exalto
The waitress I praise
De tão singular maneira
In such a singular way
Era amada pela cegueira
She was loved by the blindness
Que a palavra amor requer
That the word love requires
Para mim era a mulher
For me she was the woman
Mais formosa e mais brejeira
Most beautiful and liveliest
Certa noite de fim d′ano
One New Year's Eve
Em que certo cantador
When a singer
Cantava ao som do piano
Sang to the sound of the piano
Cantigas feitas de amor
Love songs
Um cigano alquilador
A gypsy renter
De têz bronzeada e fina
With a fine tan
Por afortunada sina
By fortunate fate
A Lucinda conquistou
Won Lucinda over
E para sempre a levou
And took her away forever
Do café da Marcelina
From Marcelina's coffee shop
