Текст и перевод песни Mano Lima - Mal Agradecida

Mal Agradecida

Quando eu te trouxe do povo, acreditei de primeira
Que nós ia se dar bem e tu não era interesseira.
Eu te avisei que o meu rancho, era de leiva e capim,
E disse que are agregado, que domava, era tropeiro,
E, que eu tinha no tereiro: angola, pato e galinha
Uma por dar cria, uma oveia e dez carneiro.
Quando eu te trouxe do povo, por Deus que eu acreditava
Que tu seria uma piava rondando na minha ceva,
E seria a mamangava zunindo no meu esteio.
E a melancia madura pra mim comer só o vermeio.
Mas foi tormenta de verão e me rebentou no meio
Remexeu nos meus guardados e espedaçou meu coração
MOÇA QUE NASCE NO POVO,
SÓ NASCEU PRA SER POVOEIRA
NÃO SE ACOSTUMA AQUI FORA
COM MADRUGADA E MANGUEIRA
SÓ LEVANTA A MEIA TARDE,
DORME, DORME ATÉ ABICHÁ, ESQUENTA UM LEITE DE SACO COM UM CAFÉ ENLATADO
E ARRECÉM VAI TRABALHÁ.
Se tu queria ir embora, era só me noticiá, Não precisava quebrar tudo o que eu tinha comprado:
Um elefante aloucado que tinha no pichichê,
Tu quebrou e botou fora – serviço bem sem patrão –
E, as fitas que eu mais gostava, do Gildo e do Teixeirinha,
Tu quebrou bem quebradinha e pôs no fogo do fogão.
Se é o meu adeus que te prende, então que te vajas bien
O bom Deus que te acompanhe e o vento que te carregue
Pega tudo os teus tarecos e vai te arrancando daqui,
Te tapa de bem- te-vi, antes que a foia te pegu

Ungrateful Woman

When I brought you from the city, I believed from the start
That we'd get along well and that you weren't a gold digger.
I warned you that my ranch was made of mud and grass,
And said that I was hired help, that I tamed horses, and was a cowboy,
And that I had in my backyard: goats, ducks, and chickens,
One about to lay eggs, a sheep, and ten rams.
When I brought you from the city, I swear I believed
That you'd be a fish swimming around my bait,
And would be the hummingbird humming in my house.
And the ripe watermelon, with me eating only the red part.
But it was a summer storm that broke me in half
Messed with my savings and shattered my heart
GIRL WHO IS BORN IN THE CITY
IS ONLY MEANT TO BE A CITY GIRL
CAN'T GET USED TO THE COUNTRY
WITH ITS EARLY MORNINGS AND COWBOYS
ONLY GETS UP IN THE AFTERNOON
SLEEPS, SLEEPS UNTIL NOON, HEATS UP SOME MILK IN A BAG WITH CANNED COFFEE
AND THEN FINALLY GOES TO WORK.
If you wanted to leave, all you had to do was tell me, You didn't have to break everything I had bought:
A crazy elephant that I had in the yard,
You broke it and threw it away – a job well done without a boss –
And the records I loved the most, by Gildo and Teixeirinha,
You broke them into little pieces and put them in the stove.
If it's my goodbye that's holding you back, then go with luck,
May God be with you and the wind carry you,
Grab all your things and get out of here,
Cover yourself with mugwort before the cold gets you
