Radinho de Pilha

I went to the city of Rio de Janeiro
I worked the whole year and even worked late
The life of Paraíba was no joke
From laborer, from bricklayer to earn my bread

I saved money, stopped smoking
Bought a battery-powered radio and sent it to my love
I was very upset when I returned
The radio I gave her, she gave away to someone

But she gave the radio
She gave the radio and didn't even tell me, she gave the radio
She gave it, yes, to be stubborn, but she gave it away
The radio I bought and gifted her

She gave the radio and didn't even tell me, she gave the radio
She gave it, to be stubborn
She gave it away
The radio I bought

I am honest, I am a hard worker
But I don't like mockery to my face
I won't dress up a doll for others to play with
No one will make a fuss with this country bumpkin

I don't tolerate such disrespect
Some women only learn when they get a beating
To settle the score, I will give you a thrashing
Because the radio I bought, everyone already knows

She gave the radio
She gave the radio and didn't even tell me, she gave the radio
She gave it, yes, to be stubborn, but she gave it away
The radio I bought and gifted her

She gave the radio and didn't even tell me, she gave the radio
She gave it, to be stubborn
She gave it away
The radio I bought
