Full lyrics
A filha da minha vizinha
Outro dia estava chorando
Eu fui lá na sua casa
Saber o que estava se passando
Encontrei sua mãe aperreada
Perguntei o que foi que aconteceu
E a velha muito triste
Pra mim assim respondeu
Foi comida, foi comida
Que ofendeu a margarida
A velha falou que margarida
Tinha ido a um batizado
Na casa de um da família
Junto com seu namorado
Comida la tinha de fartura
Mais não sabe o que foi que aconteceu
Desconfia da buchada que margarida comeu
Translation
My neighbor's daughter
The other day was crying
I went to her house
To find out what was happening
I found her mother distressed
I asked what had happened
And the old woman very sadly
Answered me like this
It was food, it was food
That offended Margarida
The old woman said that Margarida
Had gone to a christening
At the house of a family member
Together with her boyfriend
There was plenty of food there
But she doesn't know what happened
She suspects the buchada that Margarida ate
It was food, it was food
That offended Margarida
