Full lyrics

Ai, ai, Santo Antonio casamenteiro

Você casou todo mundo

Por que foi morrer solteiro?

Santo Antonio, ai, ai


Casou Mariano com Maria

Não durou nem oito dias

Cada qual foi pra seu lado

Coitado do Mané, nadava em ouro

Hoje o leite que bebe é soro

Feijão de corda furado e queimado


Ai, ai, Santo Antonio casamenteiro

Você casou todo mundo

Por que foi morrer solteiro?

Santo Antonio, ai, ai


E eu, que rezei tanta novena

Lhe pedindo uma morena

Pra ser dona do meu lar

Pode deixar, acho que casar é tarde

Quando a barba do outro arde

Eu boto a minha pra quarar

Translation

Oh, oh, Santo Antonio matchmaker

You married everyone

Why did you die single?

Santo Antonio, oh, oh


You married Mariano with Maria

It didn't last even eight days

Each went their own way

Poor Mané, he swam in gold

Today the milk he drinks is whey

Black-eyed peas, pierced and burnt


Oh, oh, Santo Antonio matchmaker

You married everyone

Why did you die single?

Santo Antonio, oh, oh


And I, who prayed so many novenas

Asking you for a brunette

To be the lady of my home

Never mind, I think it's too late to marry

When the other's beard burns

I put mine out to bleach
