Casamento do Caipira

In the time when I was young
I liked to have fun
I used to go to parties
Dancing here and there

I watched a wedding
In the city of Jacuí
A countryman's wedding
Almost made me die laughing

The bride was clumsy
And the groom was chubby
He seemed happy
Despite his stern face

His suit was very short
Pants wide at the bottom
With a mustache spread out
Covering his whole face

When it was time to go to church
I found it even funnier
The groom's trousseau
Was all messed up

The groom very happy
When they walked arm in arm
Both dressed in white
With shoes all wrong

A sprig of basil
The groom had on his chest
He was getting married at that moment
Everything was fine

He just wanted the bride
To come in any way
Left boot on the left foot
Right boot on the right foot

When they were asked for their names
I got closer to listen
The priest asked
If they wanted to marry

They both answered together
It's the best thing
We want to join the bed
To increase the offspring

When it was time to go to bed
I found it really absurd
They both entered a room
Lying down with their clothes on

To this day I still remember
The wedding of the clumsy groom
With Chica Zaroia
And Pafúncio Bigodudo
