Full lyrics

Ai Marieta

Ai Marieta

Nem que o diabo arranque o rabo

Eu não deixo a minha preta


A Marieta não precisa de pintura

É uma criatura que não gosta de falsete

Tem um colar e um anel muito bonito

Ela carrega no peito uma linda borboleta

Por onde passa o povo fica amarrado

Que eu só vejo cochichado

Mas que pedaço de preta


Ai Marieta

Ai Marieta

Nem que o diabo arranque o rabo

Eu não deixo a minha preta


Olha o meu vizinho é casado com uma branca

Todo mundo ele me manda e começa jogando xepa

Já me falou pra eu trocar de companhia

Perguntou quanto eu queria de volta com Marietaa

Quero dez conto somente pelo oxente

E você paga os objetos que eu dei pra minha preta

Translation

Oh Marieta

Oh Marieta

Not even if the devil pulls off his tail

I won't leave my darling


Marieta doesn't need makeup

She's a creature who doesn't like falsehood

She has a very beautiful necklace and a ring

She carries a beautiful butterfly on her chest

Wherever she passes, people are captivated

All I see is whispering

"What a stunning woman!"


Oh Marieta

Oh Marieta

Not even if the devil pulls off his tail

I won't leave my darling


Look, my neighbor is married to a white woman

He sends everyone to me and starts badmouthing

He already told me to change company

He asked how much I wanted back from Marieta

I want ten 'conto' just for the nerve of it

And you pay for the objects I gave to my darling
