Текст и перевод песни Sulino & Marrueiro - Joãozinho do Sobrado

Joãozinho do Sobrado

Seu Armando é um homem rico, é um fazendeiro abastado
Tem lavouras de café e forte criação de gado
Julieta é filha única, é bonita e delicada
Mas sua mãe, não consente que ela arranje namorado
Assim memo' ela namora o Joãozinho do sobrado

Joãozinho é rapaz galante, é ativo e delicado
Mas é de família pobre, ele vive de empregado
Seu Armando, quer que a filha case com o doutor Machado
Mas ela quer o Joãozinho, nada de doutor formado
A Julieta sofre muito e Joãozinho sofre dobrado

No dia 8 de agosto, no baile de um batizado
A Julieta e o Joãozinho 'tavam num banco assentado
Joãozinho virou e disse: Julieta eu vivo enganado
Eu sei que não te mereço, sou um pobre desventurado
Lágrima correu dos olhos do pobre moço, coitado

Ô, doutor, o seu rival, aproximando do seu lado
Olhou bem para Julieta, mostrando ser ciumado
Julieta se 'alevantou, e saíram de braços dados
Foram dançar uma mazurca, num requebradão danado
Joãozinho ficou sozinho, dando suspiro cortado

Joãozinho se 'alevantou
Ai, ai, jurgando' ser desprezado

Joãozinho se 'alevantou, ajurgando' ser desprezado
Arriou a sua besta com seus arreio' chapeado
Quando 'tava de saída, recebeu este recado
Julieta tá te esperando lá no portão do cercado
Jogou ela na garupa e hoje em dia são casados

Joãozinho of the Big House

Mr. Armando is a wealthy man, a prosperous farmer, my love.
He has coffee plantations and a large cattle ranch, you see.
Julieta is his only daughter, beautiful and delicate, truly.
But her mother won't allow her to have a boyfriend, not at all.
Even so, she dates Joãozinho of the big house, in secret they call.

Joãozinho is a gallant young man, active and refined, my dear.
But he comes from a poor family, he works for a living, it's clear.
Mr. Armando wants his daughter to marry Doctor Machado, it's true.
But she wants Joãozinho, no doctor with a degree will do.
Julieta suffers greatly, and Joãozinho suffers doubly so, it's a shame.

On August 8th, at a christening party's grand ball, they say.
Julieta and Joãozinho were sitting on a bench, come what may.
Joãozinho turned and said: Julieta, I live a life of deceit, I confess.
I know I don't deserve you, I'm a poor unfortunate mess.
Tears streamed from the eyes of the poor young man, so distressed.

Oh, Doctor, your rival, approaching by your side, so bold.
Looked right at Julieta, showing he was jealous, I'm told.
Julieta stood up, and they left arm in arm, so grand.
They went to dance a mazurka, with a wicked, swirling command.
Joãozinho was left alone, sighing deeply, so unmanned.

Joãozinho stood up.
Oh, oh, believing himself to be scorned, so low.

Joãozinho stood up, believing himself to be scorned, it's true.
He saddled his horse with its plated harness, shining new.
As he was leaving, he received this message, clear and bright.
Julieta is waiting for you at the gate of the fence, tonight.
He swung her onto the back of his horse, and now they're married, what a sight!
