Casa Comigo Marta
José Mário Branco
Marry Me, Martha
She was called Martha
He was Doctor Dom Gaspar
She poor and playful
He rich and controlling
Gaspar had an unparalleled passion for Martha
But Martha was more than fed up, fed up with putting up with him
- Marry me, Martha
I'm dying to get married
- Marry you, no way
Don't mess with me, leave me alone
Marry me, Martha
I have clothes to iron
I have silverware
All waiting to be washed
I have a pheasant in the oven and I don't know how to cook
Shirts, sweaters, scarves, suits to iron
- Marry me, Martha
I have clothes to iron
- Marry you, no way
Don't mess with me, leave me alone
Marry me, Martha
I have stocks and income
I have a wide bed
In one of my apartments
I have gold in Switzerland and godparents by the hundreds
I lend, mortgage, and trade investments
- Marry me, Martha
I have stocks and income
- Marry you, no way
Don't mess with me, leave me alone
Marry me, Martha
I have reins to command
I have people who make sure
I am respected
I have more than enough means to appoint you
Queen of the fools from here and beyond the sea
- Marry me, Martha
I'll force you to marry
- Marry you, no way
You only take me with you in a coffin
