O Não-pedido de Casamento

My dear, by God, I have a request
Let's not aim for Cupid
His own arrow
So many lovers took risks
With their pleasure they paid
Such sacrilege

A ring on each hand
Swearing an arrest warrant
At home
To hell, dry maids
Who leave their beds cold
To pound corn

I have the honor of not asking for your hand
Why seal this union on parchment?

Venus caught loses her vigor
And with the chorizo fries the judgment
Falls into the food
For nothing in this world will I
Pluck petals over the escargot
The daisy

The veil falls, with it the charm
The secret of the mermaid, the song
Of Melusine
The lipstick on the letters loses its color
Between one and another page of the
Nouvelle cuisine

I have the honor of not asking for your hand
Why seal this union on parchment?
I have the honor of not asking for your hand
Why seal this union on parchment?

It's very easy one thinks
To leave at the back of the pantry
In a preserve
The beautiful forbidden fruit
Lost its taste, was cooked
Not preserved

I don't need a maid
Treated with sponge cake, I warn
I never want to be
Like an eternal bride I intend
The owner of my thoughts
I always see

I have the honor of not asking for your hand
Why seal this union on parchment?
I have the honor of not asking for your hand
Why seal this union on parchment?
I have the honor of not asking for your hand
Why seal this union on parchment?
