Full lyrics
Seu moço eu inventei de me casar
e fui morar numa casinha bem singela
minha mobília era uma cama quebrada
duas panelas furadas
três pratos e uma tigela
a minha noiva também é bem pobrezinha
ela tinha uma cabaçinha
e eu fui buscar água nela
veja seu moço tinha um toco no caminho
eu tropecei no danadinho
e quebrei a cabaça dela
Quebrei, quebrei
quebrei a cabaça dela
quebrei, quebrei
quebrei a cabaça dela
Translation
Young man, I decided to get married
and went to live in a very simple little house
my furniture was a broken bed
two holed pots
three plates and a bowl
my fiancée is also very poor
she had a small gourd
and I went to fetch water with it
look, young man, there was a stump on the path
I tripped on the naughty thing
and broke her gourd
I broke, I broke
I broke her gourd
I broke, I broke
I broke her gourd
