Carminho "Malva-Rosa" lyrics

Translation to:enfritsr

Malva-Rosa

Xaile verde, verde-malvaSacudida e toda airosaAinda mal rompia a alvaSaía de casa a Rosa

O esvoaçar do seu xaileTrazia o povo intrigadoE a pobre Rosa, afinalIa à missa e ao mercado

A rosa que abrisse na sua roseiraNão tinha a maneira daquela morenaLigeira, brejeira, formosaParecia uma pena pequenaEssa Rosa

Dizem que desde criançaAquele xaile a compunhaA ponto da vizinhançaÀ Rosa pôr essa alcunha

Essa alcunha graciosaDe que já ninguém a salvaChamavam-lhe a Malva-RosaCom seu xaile verde-malva

Malva-Rosa (Mauve Rosa)

Shawl of green, green-mauveCarefree and lightDawn had barely brokenWhen Rosa left her home

The flick of her shawlIntrigued the peopleAnd poor Rosa, ultimatelyWent to Mass and the market.

The rose that opens in its rosebushHas not the charm of that brunetteLight, impish, comelyShe seemed dainty as a featherThat Rosa.

They say that as a childShe wore that shawlSo much that the neighbourhoodGave the nickname to Rosa

That charming nicknameThat no one has but her,They called her Malva-RosaWith her shawl of green-mauve.
