Translation of the song lyrics Mulata Assanhada - Elizeth Cardoso

Mulata Assanhada (original)

Ai, mulata assanhada
Que passa com graça
Fazendo pirraça
Fingindo inocente
Tirando o sossego da gente
Ai, mulata se eu pudesse
E se meu dinheiro desse
Eu te dava sem pensar
Essa terra, este céu, este mar
E ela finge que não sabe
Que tem feitiço no olhar
Ai, mulata assanhada (…)
Ai, meu Deus, que bom seria
Se voltasse a escravidão
Eu pegava a escurinha
Prendia no meu coração
E depols a pretoria
É quem resolvia a questão
Ai, mulata assanhada (…)

Mulata Assanhada (translation)

oh, hot mulatta
that passes with grace
making a tantrum
pretending innocent
Taking away the peace of people
Oh, mulatto if I could
What if my money was
I gave you without thinking
This land, this sky, this sea
And she pretends she doesn't know
That has a spell in the look
Oh, raving mulatta (…)
Oh my God, how good would it be
If I went back to slavery
I took the dark
I held in my heart
And then to Pretoria
It is the one who resolved the issue
Oh, raving mulatta (…)
