Papoilas (Corrido do Zé Mestre)
Zé Maria
Poppies (Zé Mestre's Ballad)
Poppies swaying in the wind
I never tire of seeing you
Is there anything more beautiful
Than being simple without knowing
Reapers from Ribatejo
With skirts of red calico
Remind me, when I see you
Poppies swaying in the wind
Brunettes, lovely maidens
Living in the countryside
Among the wheat and poppies
I never tire of seeing you
Joyful, dancing away
To the blessed task
Singing a song
Is there anything more beautiful!
They are unaware of their beauty
They have no mirror to see it
Is there such greatness
In being simple without knowing!
Poppies swaying in the wind
I never tire of seeing you
Is there anything more beautiful
Than being simple without knowing
