The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Feriado Na Roça" by Cartola.

Lyrics

Quando eu soube que Maria Rosa vinha
Da cidade onde tinha ido a dias passear
Gritei contente graças ao nosso senhor
Eu pensei que meu amor não queria mais voltar
E tratei logo de enfeitar minha paioça
Aparei toda minha roça, lá ninguém mais trabalhou
Andei, um cabra na taberna de João Bento
Contraí todo lamento para dar aos tocadores
Daí a duas ou três horas já passadas
Chegou ela acompanhada com um rapaz de uns trinta anos
E fui chegando, fui entrando, que coragem
Arrumei toda bagagem me dizendo vou voltar
Naquela hora minha vista ficou escura
Minha mão foi à cintura e dois tiros disparei
E me encontraram com uma arma fumegando
Seu doutor, rindo e chorando
Se morreram os dois, não sei

Lyrics translation

When I heard Maria Rosa was coming
From the city where he had gone to days stroll
I cried glad thanks to our Lord
I thought My Love didn't want to come back
And I tried to decorate my dad
I trimmed all my crop, there no one else worked
I walked, a goat in the tavern of John Benedict
I contracted every regret to give the players
Then two or three hours have passed
She arrived accompanied with a boy of about thirty years
And I was coming in, I was coming in, what courage
I packed all my luggage telling me I'll come back
At that time my sight was dark
My hand went to the waist and two shots fired
And they found me with a smoking gun
Your doctor, laughing and crying
If they both died, I don't know
