Mulata Assanhada
Ataulfo Alves
Sassy Mulatto
Oh, sassy mulatto
Who passes with grace
Playing hard to get
Pretending to be innocent
Disturbing everyone's peace!
Ah! Mulatto, if I could
And if my money allowed
I would give you without thinking
This sky, this land, this sea
And she pretends she doesn't know
That she has a spell in her gaze!
Oh, my God, how good it would be
If slavery returned
I would buy this mulatto
And lock her in my heart!
And then the authorities
Would resolve the matter!
