Despensa Vazia
Zeca Pagodinho
Empty Pantry
Maria, wait for me, I'm going
To the store to get something
To see if our order arrived
Because, truth be told
Our pantry is almost empty
I ordered, but it's been a few days
Since the good merchant visited
The city (oh, Maria)
I asked him to bring salt, black pepper
My rolling tobacco, snuff, and a small
Gas cylinder that fits our stove
Flour, smoked bacon, brown sugar
Pinto beans, a packet of cloves
A good codfish and foreign olive oil
Will everything be alright
And nothing will be missing
The cheese, the butter, and that guava paste
That just thinking about makes my mouth water
Peas, lentils, sausage, and baking soda
Lasagna, spaghetti, and duck gizzards
Because I can't sleep without my bowl of soup
Cornmeal, wheat flour, and
Arracacha
Old mulatto and to whet the appetite,
Good cachaça
But next month
Instead of waiting for the good merchant
Who sometimes takes a while to return
Truth be told, we'll go to the city to buy
And also take the opportunity to stroll
And also take the opportunity to stroll, Maria
And also take the opportunity to stroll
