Full lyrics

Eu tenho pena da mulher do meu patrão

Muito rica, tão bonita ai meu Deus que mulherão

Não tem meninos para não envelhecer

Mais nervosa sofre muito por não ter o que fazer


No atiço da panela, no batuque do pilão

Tem somente quinze filhos mais o xaxo do feijão

Sarampo catapora, mais roupa pra lavar

Resfriado, tosse braba, lenha para carregar

Pote na cabeça, tem xerém pra cozinhar

Tira o leite da cabrinha, tem o bode pra soltar

Vivo com minha nega num ranchinho que eu fiz

Não se queixa não diz nada e se acha bem feliz


Com tudo isso ainda sobra um tempinho

Um agrado, um carinho, eu não quero nem dizer


Com tudo isso ainda sobra um tempinho

E um moleque sambudinho todo ano é pra nascer

Translation

I feel sorry for my boss's wife

Very rich, so beautiful, oh my God, what a woman

She has no children so she won't grow old

More nervous, she suffers a lot for having nothing to do


With the stirring of the pot, with the pounding of the mortar

She has only fifteen children plus the xaxo of the beans

Measles, chickenpox, more clothes to wash

Cold, bad cough, firewood to carry

Pot on her head, there's xerém to cook

Milks the little goat, there's the goat to release

I live with my nega in a little ranch I made

She doesn't complain, doesn't say anything, and considers herself very happy


With all that, there's still a little time left

A pleasure, a caress, I don't even want to say


With all that, there's still a little time left

And a little sambudinho boy is born every year
