A agulha e o dedal
Beatriz Costa
The needle and the thimble
Come here, crazy needle, so sweet and so fine
Come give me your pilé sugar lips
Dedal, you can't catch me, I'm smart and a rogue
And more twisted than crochet ones
Oh, it's enough, it's enough, it's enough
Enough, enough, my needle
Move away, move away, move away
Take away my thimble
Brejeira, don't be a scoundrel
Oh beauty, come and sew your apron!
Oh, it's enough, it's enough, it's enough
Enough, enough, my needle
Move away, move away, move away
Take away my thimble
Brejeira, don't be a cheat
Oh no, you are the most beautiful fresh needle in Portugal!
I know you don't love me because I'm not made of silver
And that you despise me because I'm only made of copper
Thimble, don't cry, I know you're made of tin
I too pass in the poor man's diaper
Oh, it's enough, it's enough, it's enough
Enough, enough, my needle
Move away, move away, move away
Take away my thimble
Brejeira, don't be a cheat
Oh beauty, come and sew the apron of love
Oh, it's enough, it's enough, it's enough
Enough, enough, my needle
Move away, move away, move away
Take away my thimble
Brejeira, don't be a cheat
Oh no, you are the most beautiful fresh needle in Portugal
