Full lyrics
Se não chover
Amanhã vou passear
Comprar farinha
Lá na feira do Pilar }bis
Lá no Pilar
Numa certa bodeguinha
Sá Lariquinha
Bota a filha no barcão
E a Catarina
Com seus óio gatiado
Bota os cabra apalermado
Nem repara a medição
Os óio dela tem veneno de serpente
E é mais quente que o sol de Quixadá
Farinha crua, tá azeda, tá mofada
Mas os cabra num vê nada
Nem o troco quer contar
Lá no Pilar
Com o negócio da farinha
Sá Marquinha
Vai ganhando um dinheirão
Já tá ricaça
No entanto é tão ladina
Que num deixa Catarina
Namorar com ninguém não
Sá Marquinha
Não se afasta da bichinha
O dia inteiro encostada no barcão
Se a Catarina
Num consegue seu intento
De arranjar um casamento
Vai ficar no barracão
Translation
If it doesn't rain
Tomorrow I'm going for a walk
To buy farinha
There at the Pilar market }bis
There in Pilar
In a certain little shop
Sá Lariquinha
Puts her daughter at the counter
And Catarina
With her cat-like eyes
Makes the cabra stunned
Doesn't even notice the measurement
Her eyes have snake venom
And are hotter than the sun of Quixadá
The raw farinha, is sour, is moldy
But the cabra see nothing
Nor do they want to count the change
There in Pilar
With the farinha business
Sá Marquinha
Is earning a lot of money
She's already very rich
Yet she's so cunning
That she doesn't let Catarina
Date anyone
Sá Marquinha
Doesn't move away from the girl
Leaning against the counter all day long
If Catarina
Doesn't achieve her intention
Of arranging a marriage
She will stay in the shack
