Full lyrics
A cigana que leu a minha mão mentiu
Todo mundo ouviu, todo mundo ouviu
Pegou meu dinheiro sumiu, azulou
Todo mundo ouviu quando ela falou
Que eu ia me casar
Com uma loira muito boa
Fazendeira no Pará
Pra terminar
Casei-me com uma neguinha
Feia, magra, mal feita de corpo
Sem nada de boa, coitadinha
Translation
The gypsy woman who read my hand lied
Everyone heard, everyone heard
She took my money, disappeared, vanished
Everyone heard when she spoke
That I was going to marry
A very good blonde woman
A rancher in Pará
In the end
I married a neguinha
Ugly, thin, ill-formed in body
With nothing good, poor thing
