Full lyrics

Ora veja só

Ora veja só

A nega chupou a cana

E só veio me dar um nó

Ora veja só

Ora veja só


Encontrei essa neguinha

Mais pra lá do que pra cá

Lhe tratei como uma rainha

E veja o que a nega me dá

A nega não tinha nada

Hoje tem tudo aos seus pés

No tempo de escravizada

Não valia um berreis


Esta nega tem de tudo

Que é de bom e de melhor

Tem casaco de veludo

Tem carinho ao seu redor

Tem um tempo que eu lhe dou

Boa casa e comida

Mais a nega vacilou

Eu vou dar um pau na atrevida

Translation

Just look at that

Just look at that

The black woman sucked the sugarcane

And only came to tie me in a knot

Just look at that

Just look at that


I found this little black girl

More over there than over here

I treated her like a queen

And see what the black woman gives me

The black woman had nothing

Today she has everything at her feet

In the time of enslavement

She wasn't worth a bean


This black woman has everything

That is good and the best

She has a velvet coat

She has affection around her

She has time that I give her

Good house and food

But the black woman faltered

I'm going to beat the cheeky one
