Casamento Improvisado

Spoken: Whoever wants to steal a girl to marry, go do the job alone. Don't send anyone in your place, no! So what happened to Mane de Sá Firmina doesn't happen again, Ah! Ah!

I was walking quietly, ai, ai
Without any trouble
And here comes Mane de Sá Firmina, ai, ai (repeat)
And puts me in a mess
Asked me to steal Aurora, ai, ai
Daughter of Chico Simão
Preparing three horses
And we went to steal Aurora
Oh, the roosters were crowing

It was almost four o'clock
We arrived at the crossroads
Down by Tinguí
Mané said, go now
I'll wait for you here
Give two cat meows
Give two cat meows (repeat)
She'll come after you

I did everything as he said, ai, ai
She came and asked:
Where's Mane? Are you scared? Ai, ai
And why did he send you
I won't run away, he sent me
I won't run away with him anymore, ai, ai
If you want, I'll go with you

Without thinking like a child
I felt the fire in my throat

I grabbed Aurora right there
Put her on the saddle's moon
Left Mane where he was
Took another path
I went to Vila Bela
Where my godfather lives

Today we are married
Today we are married
And we have eight little bellies (repeat)
