Lyrics
Chamaram-me um dia
Cigano e maltês
Menino, não és boa rés
Abri uma cova
Na terra mais funda
Fiz dela
A minha sepultura
Entrei numa gruta
Matei um tritão
Mas tive
O diabo na mão
Havia um comboio
Já pronto a largar
E vi
O diabo a tentar
Pedi-lhe um cruzado
Fiquei logo ali
Num leito
De penas dormi
Puseram-me a ferros
Soltaram o cão
Mas tive o diabo na mão
Voltei da charola
De cilha e arnês
Amigo, vem cá
Outra vez
Subi uma escada
Ganhei dinheirama
Senhor D. Fulano Marquês
Perdi na roleta
Ganhei ao gamão
Mas tive
O diabo na mão
Ao dar uma volta
Caí no lancil
E veio
O diabo a ganir
Nadavam piranhas
Na lagoa escura
Tamanhas
Que nunca tal vi
Limpei a viseira
Peguei no arpão
Mas tive
O diabo na mão
Lyrics translation
They called me one day
Gypsy and Maltese
Boy, you're not good at it.
I opened a pit
In the deepest land
I made her
My grave
I walked into a cave.
I killed a newt
But I had
The devil in the hand
There was a train
Already ready to drop
E vi
The devil trying
I asked him for a crusader.
I stayed right there.
On a bed
Of sorrows I slept
They put me in irons.
They let go of the dog
But I had the devil in my hand
I came back from the charola
Of cilia and harness
Dude, come here.
Once again
I climbed a ladder
I won dinheirama
Mr D. So-Called Marquis
I lost at roulette
I won the backgammon
But I had
The devil in the hand
When taking a walk
I fell in the lancil
And came
The devil to win
Swam piranhas
In the dark pond
Sizes
That I've never seen
I cleaned the visor
I took the harpoon
But I had
The devil in the hand
