Full lyrics

Cumpadre Ludugero

O caso é muito séro

Seu filho Delotéro

Deu um chêro em minha fía

Por esse atrevimento

Eu fiz juramento

Ou sai o casamento

Ou morre toda famía


Já convidei o promotor e o juiz

O Vigário da Matriz

De Gravatá, de Bezerros

Tenente Juca, chefe do destacamento

Prá fazê o casamento

Ou assistir enterro


Nossa famía a muié sé leva chêro

Do marido verdadeiro

Assim mermo ninguém vê

A minha fía num pode ficar chêrada

Pois ou ela sai casada

Ou muita gente vai morrer

Translation

Cumpadre Ludugero

The case is very serious

Your son Delotéro

Gave a kiss to my daughter

For this audacity

I made an oath

Either the wedding happens

Or the whole family dies


I've already invited the prosecutor and the judge

The Parish Priest

From Gravatá, from Bezerros

Lieutenant Juca, head of the detachment

To perform the wedding

Or attend a funeral


In our family, a woman only gets a kiss

From her true husband

Just like that, no one sees

My daughter cannot remain kissed

Because either she gets married

Or many people will die
