O Namorico da Rita
Amália Rodrigues
Rita's Flirtation
At the Ribeira market
There's a love affair
Between Rita, the fishmonger
And Chico, the fisherman
Everyone who goes there knows
That Rita likes Chico
Only her mother
Doesn't approve of the flirtation
When he walks by her
She smiles boldly
But Chico, being cautious
Pays no attention and says nothing
Because when her mother happens
To see Chico approaching
She makes the whole Ribeira shake
For no good reason
They flirt in the morning
In various ways
Two crates of sardines
Are two fingers of conversation
And some say loudly
That after all the fuss
Chico occasionally
Gives Rita two kisses
When he walks by her
She smiles boldly
But Chico, being cautious
Pays no attention and says nothing
Because when her mother happens
To see Chico approaching
She makes the whole Ribeira shake
For no good reason
Because when her mother happens
To see Chico approaching
She makes the whole Ribeira shake
For no good reason
