Cantigas de "A História da Baratinha"
Braguinha
Rhymes of 'The Story of Miss Ladybug'
Who wants to marry Miss Ladybug
With a ribbon in her hair and money in her little box
She's affectionate and whoever wants to marry her
Will have sweets every day, for lunch and dinner
Come, come, gentlemen, come all without stopping
The most handsome will surely win my hand
- Little ox passing by, do you want to marry me?
- Oh, lovely miss, who refuses to marry?
- I am, however, very sensitive and everything scares me
First tell me, little ox, how do you do?
- Moooo
- God forbid such a mooing groom
I'll have scares every day, I'll be afraid all night
- Little mouse passing by, do you want to marry me?
- Oh, lovely miss, who refuses to marry?
- I am, however, very sensitive and everything scares me
First tell me, little mouse, how do you do?
- Squeak-squeak-squeak
- Now that's a beautiful voice, can't scare anyone
Finally, I found a groom that suits me
...
Fan the fire, monkey business, fan the fire
Fan it well, put the pot on the stove
It's time to prepare the feijoada
For Dr. John Rat's banquet
Beans, jerked beef, Minas sausage
Pig's ear to spare
Fresh bacon, tasty bacon
Fragrant bacon for us to eat
...
Look at this beauty
On the day of the engagement
Miss Ladybug
In her lace dress
With her seven-meter veil
Satin shoes
Her perfumed body
With jasmine essence
Everyone will surely
When they see her so cheerful
She smells more than the garland
Of orange blossoms
