Paroles et traduction Sara Correia - Zé Maria

Zé Maria

Maria José que hoje ainda se vê
Guardando o seu gado
Adorava e queria o José Maria
Seu noivo adorado

E tantos amores nesses dois pastores
Davam que falar
Que pelos arraiais, moças e zagais
Punham-se a cantar

Dá-me um beijo, Zé Maria, qualquer dia casarás, tenho fé
Nesse dia, que alegria
Lá está toda a freguesia
No casório da Maria mais o Zé

Nesse dia, que alegria
Lá está toda a freguesia
No casório da Maria mais o Zé

Os anos passaram e p'rós que voltaram
Quando o mal findou
Voltou a alegria, mas o Zé Maria
Nunca mais voltou

E hoje a pastora sorri, canta e chora
Dizendo na esperança
De ainda vir um dia o seu Zé Maria
Que voltou de França

Dá-me um beijo, Zé Maria, qualquer dia voltarás eu tenho fé
Nesse dia, que alegria
Lá está toda a freguesia
No casório da Maria mais o Zé

Dá-me um beijo, Zé Maria, qualquer dia voltarás eu tenho fé
Nesse dia, que alegria
Lá está toda a freguesia
No casório da Maria mais o Zé

Nesse dia, que alegria
Lá está toda a freguesia
No casório da Maria mais o Zé

Zé Maria

Mary, who is still seen today,
Herding her cattle,
Loved and longed for Joseph,
Her beloved fiancé.

And so much love between these two shepherds,
It was the talk of the town.
That throughout the villages, girls and lads
Would burst into song.

Give me a kiss, Zé Maria, you'll be married one day, I have faith,
On that day, what joy,
The whole parish will be there,
At the wedding of Mary and Zé.

On that day, what joy,
The whole parish will be there,
At the wedding of Mary and Zé.

Years passed, and for those who returned,
When the evil ended,
Joy returned, but Zé Maria
Never came back.

And today, the shepherdess smiles, sings and cries,
Saying in hope
That one day her Zé Maria will come,
Who has returned from France.

Give me a kiss, Zé Maria, you'll be back one day, I have faith,
On that day, what joy,
The whole parish will be there,
At the wedding of Mary and Zé.

Give me a kiss, Zé Maria, you'll be back one day, I have faith,
On that day, what joy,
The whole parish will be there,
At the wedding of Mary and Zé.

On that day, what joy,
The whole parish will be there,
At the wedding of Mary and Zé.
