Paroles et traduction Luiz Gonzaga - Moda Da Mula Preta

Moda Da Mula Preta

Eu tenho uma mula preta com sete palmos de altura
A mula é descanelada, tem uma linda figura
Tira fogo na calçada, no rampão da ferradura
Co'a morena delicada, na garupa faz figura
A mula fica enjoada, pisa só de andadura

O ensino na criação, veja quanto que regula
Você fez tudo mulão, eu sei que ninguém car(l)cula
Moça feia e marmanjão, na garupa a mula pula
Chega a fazer cerração, todos pulo dessa mula
Cabra muda de feição, sendo preto fica fula

Soltei a mula no pasto veja o que me aconteceu
Uma cobra venenosa a minha mula mordeu
Com o veneno dessa cobra a mula nem se mexeu
Só durou umas quatro hora dipois a mula morreu
Acabou-se a mula preta que tanto gosto me deu

Black Mule Fashion

I have a black mule that's seven feet high
The mule is sleek and has a beautiful figure
She strikes sparks on the pavement, with her horseshoe's loud clanging
With a graceful damsel, she cuts a fine figure on her back
The mule gets tired, she only walks at a pace

The way she's trained, you'll see how much she obeys
You've made her into a pack mule, I know no one can match her
An ugly girl and a big man, the mule bucks them off as they ride
She makes such a cloud of dust, everyone jumps off her back
The man changes his expression, being black he gets angry

I turned the mule loose in the pasture, see what happened to me
A venomous snake bit my mule
With the poison of that snake, the mule didn't even move
She only lasted about four hours, then the mule died
The black mule is gone, the one that gave me so much joy
