Amália Rodrigues "As meninas da Terceira" lyrics

Translation to:enit

As meninas da Terceira

Às meninas da TerceiraNem São Miguel agradou!Vaidade é má conselheira,Nenhuma lá namorou!As meninas da TerceiraVão casar ao Continente,Vejam lá a brincadeira:Não temos cara de gente!

As meninas da Terceira,Numa cantiga brejeira,São laranjas sumarentas!Quem me dera saboreá-las,Se não fossem de más falas,Azedas e ciumentas

Nem sequer vê alegriaNesses pãozinhos sem sal!Quem foi à Santa Maria,Esteve já no Faial.Na Terceira bate a asa,Quem quiser moça formosa!É bem melhor fazer casaEm São Jorge ou Graciosa!

Na Terceira, a ChamarritaA ninguém dá namorada!Meninas, dança bonita,Não se quer tão deslavada!À Terceira leva o ricoNoiva rica dos Açores,O pobre escolhe no PicoCasa no Corvo ou nas Flores!

The girls from Terceira island

The girls from Terceira islandEven disliked São Miguel!Vanity is a bad adviser,And neither over there did they find love!The girls from Terceira islandSet out to find husband on the mainland,And that's really funny:We must lack human features!

The girls from Terceira island,With their coquettish dancing,Are like juicy oranges!Ah, I wish I could taste them,Weren't they ill gossiping,Crabby and jealous.

And you wouldn't even find any joyIn those saltless loaves.Who has been in Santa Maria,Has already been in Faial, too.Everyone who is looking for a nice girlSteers clear of Terceira!It's a way better choice to settle downIn São Jorge or in Graciosa!

In Terceira to dance a ChamarritaWon't help you find a girl to love!Girls, a nice danceIsn't supposed to look so shameless.The rich takes to TerceiraA rich wife from Azores islandsThe poor chooses his in PicoAnd settles down in Corvo or in Flores.
